-want to go
And leave this world of trials
And troubles here below
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep following Jesus

Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
And every voice within me spoke, "you will never be free"
Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree
But today I am as perfect as a single blade of grass
Because I am free

In the night I was beset with demons
I know all their names but cannot speak them
Their grinning teeth split the darkness and I said:
"I know your name, takе your teeth out of me
Return my body to me, rеlease me, release me
Release me, release me, release me"

My tears soaked my bed
The blood of many wounds soaked my bed
The sweat of many fears soaked my bed
And I begged
Release me, release me, release me

And Sinner Friend, I heard that Voice
Sweet as a bright bell
It spoke to me and said, sweet as a bright bell:
"I will always be with you
I will be with you always"
And I spat
"Who are you? Some demon? Do I know your name?"
And the voice replied:
"I am the one heralded by seven trumpets, have you not heard?
I claim no thing and no thing can claim Me
But I am yours, and you are Mine
For this hour, you are free"
And I said, "Demon, release me"
"I cannot release you for you are already free
I made you as perfect as a single blade of grass
Have you not seen?"
And the voice spoke, sweet as a bright bell:
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"

And so I sit at the table of God
And my garment is woven from the stars
And the leaves that fan from the trees
That unfurl into Heaven
In my hair are lilies and at my throat are pearls
And when I walk the streets of gold with naked feet
All this was promised—and came to be

And so, Sinner Friend, lay your burdens down
The night is not yours alone to carry
Take my hand, for in the dark I see you
And I will speak unto you what was spoke unto me
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
"I will always be with you, I will be with you always"
