Verse

Evils beyond all numbers have surrounded me

I’m out numbered out-ranked, out-gunned, Oh, Lord they surrounded me

So what can I do, but cry out to you?

I’ve been beaten and bruised and battered by my own weakness

From addiction to stronghold to wallow in self made bleakness

So what can I do but cry out to you?

Chorus

Father, here is my heart exposed to Your flame

The fire of Your love, the strength of Your name

Father, burn away all the chaff, deliver me

Father, here is my heart and this my desire

To be captured and cleansed and consumed by Your fire

I will enter the flame while You cut off the enemy

Verse

Father, I wear a target on my back that says I love you

I’m at war with the darkness that tries to exalt itself above You

So what can I do but cry out to you?

Chorus
