So deep I ache inside
Pains cry from my heart
Failure has doomed me
Gloom and despair abound

I feel as I am falling
Into a great dark pit
Hopelessness drowns me
No one seems to care

If only I could sleep
My suffering may ease
For just a short while
My fears hunger for rest

Hell would surely send demons
To play havoc with my mind
Nightmares awaken me
As my screams wail in the night

These wounds may never heal
The scars a permanent reminder
How the soul and flesh rage war
Mine is a long and bloody battle

I know there must be a savior
A gentle touch I sorely desire
A loving friend with a holy heart
Guide me to his miraculous light

Teach me his understanding
Shroud me with his grace
Strengthen me with his word
Deliver me from evil with his love
