Count Me Worthy

Count me worthy when the day is done;
For where I came from the land is lonely and dry.
Count me worthy
When I failed but tried.
Count me worthy
When tears I cannot cry.
Count me worthy
When I'm ashamed.
Count me worthy
When there's nothing for me to give.
Count me worthy
When I feel dirty inside.
Count me worthy
When I bury my face in my hands.
Count me worthy
When I cannot stand.
Count me worthy
When looking at you is hard to do.
Count me worthy
When all have gone.
Count me worthy
With each new dawn.
Only count me worthy Where your blood has been applied.
