Wounded Guide

I know that I said I don't care
I know I said good-bye
But who am I to talk back to You
In the face of Your sacrifice
I've always thought of myself as decent
Never really done much harm
Until I felt the grace of You, Father
And Your Son's undying charm

I don't want to lose You
I don't want to die
I don't want to lose You
After all, You're my Guide

I've tried to make it on my strength
I've tried to make it on my verve
But I always hurt the ones who love me
Why can't I hurt Lucifer
And as I entertain his demons
Unaware of what was given
They attempt to cover me with semen
But my Wounded God is living

I don't want to lose You
Even for my pride
I don't want to lose You
After all, You're my Guide

Someday I'll be holy
Someday I'll be whole

Oh, Wounded God, have I hurt You
Am I stuck in mud
Have I strayed from that Scarlet Road
Paved with Your Son's blood

But You sure would never lose me
You're my Wounded Guide
