Road Map : V1, , V2, , ,                                                                

Verse 1:

Batter my heart o God
                                                                                           
Break the walls of this life you seek to mend
            
Shatter my reason God
                                                                        
Snap this wreath that has only learned to bend
                     
I ve heard of your greatness God
                                                                  
Still I can t seem to escape this mess I m in

I don t know what else to do
                 
I only can turn to you

Chorus:
                                          
So be severe in your mercy 
                                           
Let your love take it s toll
                                                 
I ve been betrothed to your enemy
                                                   ( into Verse 2)
I ve ruined everything I control



Verse: 2

Have we been praying Lord
                                                                      
Or just searching for a power to call our own
                    
Wishing for miracles
                                                                              
While sitting safe among the last unbroken hopes
                           
I ve struggled to let you in
                                                            
Just to end up the same unfinished soul

But I can t make you move in me
                                                       ( into Chorus)
The One who moves everything

(Chorus)

Bridge:
              
Only make me yours
                 
If you can take away this 
                                                      
heatbeat in me that makes me turn away


Chorus
                                          
So be severe in your mercy 
                                           
Let your love take it s toll
                                                 
I ve been betrothed to your enemy
                     
I ve ruined everything
                         
I ve ruined everything I ve controled
