Break Me and
Bless Me
Fall 2010
Verse 1:
F C Dm or Gm(more spooky)
You speak and it’s unclear
F C Dm
My heart is clenched with fear
Gm Bb C
Dm Am
That what You said is what You really
mean.
F C Dm
I cannot answer Yes, Lord,
F C Dm
For my heart, it seeths with greif,
Gm Gm Bb Am C
And I cannot make myself believe that You
would speak this pain.
Chorus:
F Dm(/A?)
Through the long night, don’t let go
F Dm
Though the day breaks, don’t let go
Gm C
Fight with me, wrestle with me
Gm Dm/A F
Never give in to me: break me and bless
me.
Verse 2:
Your power is unmatched,
Your strength beyond compare,
And You will bring Your will to come to
pass.
Still I fear You’ll let me win, Lord,
But I cannot acquiesce
O bitterest Friend, match blow for blow
– don’t abandon me to my strength: Chorus
Bridge:
Dm Fsus2 C
God of Jacob, my Portion, my Passion,
Dm F C
Ladder of Jacob, who opened the
heavens,
Gm
Dm Bb Am
Dm C
Spirit who came down and who remains:
Dm F
Peniel, Pen’el, uncover your Face,
Dm F C
Lead me to Bethel from this desolate
place;
Gm Bb F
My soul thirsts for you, the Living God.
Chorus 2:
F Dm
“In the morning, the fleece was wet,
F C
In the morning, the fleece was dry,
Gm Bb F C
And Moses could not run away from the
burning bush.
F Dm
Come and flood my throne with tears,
F C
Come and match your strength to mine,
Gm Bb F C
For I will not let you break away from
Me.” Chorus

Rejoice with me, my love!
My God is laughing into me;
I sit in sorrow still.
My soul is sad and lonely yet;
My heart is far from filled.
My God is singing over me:
“My burden, it is light.
All else you carry, lay it down,
And in my love delight!”
My God is laughing into me;
O, why can He not see
How empty and how torn I am,
And weep along with me?
“I hear your cries, I see your tears,
Survey your heart and weep,
But, too, my love, be one with me,
And let your joy be deep.
I feel the crushing weight of heart,
Expel a bitter sigh,
See pounding rain in endless sheets,
Envision no respite.
I feel His laughter ringing deep
And buzzing in my chest
A smile creeps to warm my face
“Laugh into me again.”
