lyrics

"the bittersweet" by Joseph Stone, 2014

Am I making any sense
as I repent for sins
I did not commit
is it too late to come alive
making home in this world
when I feel so alone
regret imprisons me
I try to drown it out
but I’m the one drowning
oh how I’ve backslidden
into a personal hell
that I do not belong in

It feels like two steps back
and one step forward
where do I belong?
Consider my pride
it holds me back from
reaching out and I
suffocate under my distress
and I digress
into my own mess
because these lies, they tell me
that I am unacceptable, unable
to be liberated from this personal hell

I taste the bittersweet
cannot escape my memories
numb to my own dignity
is this some sick tragedy
is my life one epic joke
try to step up only to choke
these tears behind my eyes
well up until I can’t deny
that no, I’m not alright

stand and face myself
the self that I despise
sad, complacent, suffering
kneel at the cross of a Christ
who proclaims me beloved
and worthy of a
love beyond all measure
oh, how sweet it is
to know that I am treasured
buried in the tomb are my burdens
defeated by holy wounds
and I stand triumphant

oh, Divine Love that liberates
