Kyrie Eleison

In the alley of darkness There, my morality lurks with uncertainty My heart gilded in a wrapper of sin Like an offering to the lord of darkness Battered and shaken by sin I am weighed down by the cross of my sins My body is weak to unchain itself I am tired and lost My heart and mind are far away from pure The moment I turn to the light I am shoved back to darkness for my will is weak So weak the devil plays with me My spirit is empty and unoccupied Darkness is over the face of my soul’s abyss Let your Spirit hover over my soul And bring light into this abyss. In the upper room with my faith and prayer Singing songs and saying words out of my depth I want to be lost in your aura For in you is tranquility and grace. Just like the risen Lord Let me defeat death And my soul shall rise!
