You Conquered Me

The battle is raging, the horns are blaring

And I’m here, I’m here, I’m trembling.

I’m putting on armor, pretending I’ve valour

Drawing in strength I know I don’t possess

‘Cause I’m afraid, I’m afraid that they will see

That I’m not, I’m not who I pretend to be.

I’m no soldier, no fighter, no winner

And I am lost, I’m losing the battle before it begins.

My shield is breaking, my sword is flying

And I’m here, I’m here, and I’m shaking.

I’m alone, afraid, tired, and running.

Looking for a haven, broken and crying,

Escaping into a place where they can’t find me.

So I cried, I cried, and You were there.

And You took my hands and gave me rest.

I was scarred, bloodied, defeated.

Yet You held me tight and You said,

“Come to me, my love, let me fight this battle for you.”

And You conquered me.

Now I’m safe, I’m loved, unafraid,

‘Cause You conquered me.
