Lay your hands, your healing hands

Upon my flesh, my sinful flesh

And heal this soul, my tormented soul

For I am lost within this place

The light I've seen for my entire life

Won't guide my way: it's failing me

You're failing me... And soon I'll see

That with your death this passion dies

My devotion to you was complete:

I've carried the weight of your cross

The burden of life presses me

These nails are in too deep

My passion suffocates me

Jesus you suffocate me

Help me down from my cross

I'm dying here, my faith it fades

I've suffered long, my passion

Lost in prayer, I lost my soul

Lost my way, I followed you

You led me deep into despair

Where there was hope gloom was waiting

My devotion to you was complete:

I've carried the weight of your cross

The burden of life presses me

These nails are in too deep

My passion suffocates me

Jesus you suffocate me
