lyrics

Batter My Heart (R. Hampton)

batter my heart three-person God take me to you imprison me for unless you enthrall me i shall never be free or ever chaste unless you ravish me they left their heavenly dwelling place in search of earthly delights now they dwell in deepest darkness far from Heaven’s holy light this was written as a warning a warning to us that certain lines should not be crossed is it fair is it right? i’m not sure i understand cuz it seems the fleeting moments of pleasure are the closest many get to the promised land oh how i want to be free…you put these feelings into me and oh how i want to be free oh how i want to be free…
