lyrics
Oh my God where have you gone?
My light has dimmed and You’ve withdrawn.
My time of need has soon arrived.
I pray for thorns to pierce divine.
My pain, my King, I cannot take.
The fight, my Lord, I cannot fake.
Defeat the archer with his bow.
With fiery darts as white as snow.
The ache of sin I cannot stand.
The sting of stains that broke Your hands.
I rise and raise my spear to show
I’ve pierced the peace of One I know.
My guilt, my King, I cannot hide.
The debt, my Lord, I cannot buy.
Purchase the ransom for my life.
Secure me Groom, I am your wife.
The frail know fear.
The lost lose hope.
I’m tied in knots with my own rope.
Release me from the bondage nigh,
so I can soar to safety’s side.
Your crown, my King, I cannot wear.
The cross, my Lord, I cannot bear.
I’ve lost the meaning of Your home.
I’m running towards Your kingdom’s throne.

about
Preson Phillips Tampa, Florida
Tampa Florida’s Preson Phillips has been called “a refreshing change from mainstream worship music [who’s] songs recall the
wide-eyed fervor of the early 70s Jesus music artists” ~itunes review.
With an americana influenced sound ranging from folk to alt/country, newcomers should expect a real, almost personal, connection with the emotions and ancient spirituality of the music of Preson Phillips.
