Lyrics:
Holy One who gives all of Israel a home,
Keep Your people, but please, won't you leave me alone?
For You know when I sit down, You know when I stand;
You know every stumble I make
Like the soldiers surrounding me, I feel Your hand
That won't let me just run away--
You won't let me just run away.
You are the air I breathe, trapping me, tight to my skin;
And so I say, "go away," and draw You within
And though I've denied You, I fear that I'll finally
Come back confessing my sin, coming back broken again.
