Lay your hands, your healing hands
Upon my flesh, my sinful flesh
And heal this soul, my tormented soul
For I am lost within this place

The light I've seen for my entire life
Won't guide my way: it's failing me
You're failing me... And soon I'll see
That with your death this passion dies

My devotion to you was complete:
I've carried the weight of your cross
The burden of life presses me
These nails are in too deep
My passion suffocates me
Jesus you suffocate me

Help me down from my cross
I'm dying here, my faith it fades
I've suffered long, my passion

Lost in prayer, I lost my soul
Lost my way, I followed you
You led me deep into despair
Where there was hope gloom was waiting
My devotion to you was complete:
I've carried the weight of your cross
The burden of life presses me
These nails are in too deep
My passion suffocates me
Jesus you suffocate me
