From the womb I’ve held my pride,
From the womb I’ve held my pride.
Even though I knew the truth
That there was nowhere I could hide;
From the womb I’ve held my pride.
For too long I’ve been alone,
For too long I’ve been alone.
I have pushed off everyone
And every kindness I’ve been shown;
For too long I’ve been alone.
O save my bitter soul, my soul;
My fears, they take their toll, their toll.
Jesus, you alone can make me whole;
O save my bitter soul!
Take my pain, Lord, take my rage,
Take my pain, Lord, take my rage.
All my wounded spite and fury
Have become for me a cage;
Take my pain, Lord, take my rage.
O save my bitter soul, my soul;
My fears, they take their toll, their toll.
Jesus, you alone can make me whole;
O save my bitter soul!
Give me peace, Lord, give me joy;
Give me peace, Lord, give me joy.
Let me lay down everything
That threatens only to destroy;
Give me peace, Lord, give me joy.
O save my bitter soul, my soul;
My fears, they take their toll, their toll.
Jesus, you alone can make me whole;
O save my bitter soul!
