Sins Lingering Effects

This is a song that I feel often captures how I feel about indwelling sin and the struggle against it in my life. See if you feel the same. But do you know who wrote this song?

Where do I take this pain of mine. I run but it stays right by my side. So tear me open and pour me out. There's things inside that scream and shout. And the pain still hates me. So hold me until it sleeps.

Just like the curse, just like the stray. You feed it once and now it stays. Now it stays. So tear me open but beware There's things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me. So wash me until I'm clean.

It grips you so hold me. It stains you so hold me. It hates you so hold me. It holds you so hold me. Until it sleeps.

So tell me why you've chosen me. Don't want your grip. Don't want your greed. Don't want it.

I'll tear me open make you gone. No more can you hurt anyone. And the fear still shakes me. So hold me, until it sleeps.

It grips you so hold me. It stains you so hold me. It hates you so hold me. It holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps

I Don't want it want it want it want it want itNo

So tear me open but beware. There's things inside without a care. And the dirt still stains me. So wash me 'til I'm clean.

I'll tear me open make you gone. No longer will you hurt anyone. And the hate still shapes me. So hold me until it sleeps.
