Gnashing of Teeth SONG

Fighting off the darkness seeping deep
down into secret places of my soul Hiding
seeds in the crags of my mind where shady
dealings try to take control The snakes
slithers incognito wearing sheepskin,
stealth-like through the obvious Building
a home out of facades, raping my mind

with the lie of fear of trust My soul
beaten down by the lack of faith is just
fear of what I cannot see Through fear,
derives anger, thrust back on self,
causes despair with the blame on me But
now I stand to fight with the hope found
in You, gives me something to live for
The black downward spiral, cycles of
death to my spirit I now find no more
Fighting is my faith, my strength grows
in trusting You Overcoming these feelings
of dread, I will make it through
Paralysis, you will have no more of
me I am set free by the blood of the
Lamb Prince of Peace, destroy all yoke
of slavery All fear overcome, mercy
lies in His hand Darkness consumes my
imagination But the day has come for
separation Captivity, lost in my own

mind But now faith has come for me to
find I feel my fear, I fight my fear,
You kill my fear, I will not fear
Now I battle the odds I face through
praise because You have become my
refuge I don't know what to do, but my
eyes remain upon You to deliver me So
You are my deliverance, and You give me
rest to help destroy all of these false
securities I'll give You praise, and
lift up Your name, for Your love endures eternally
