Pushin’ past my limit, cause I just can’t seem to forget it
The unleashed fire burnt my finger ’cause I forgot that I lit it
Runnin’ like a sinner ’cause man, you know, I ain’t no beginner
And then I crawled back to the life that I said I just couldn’t live in
‘Cause I just couldn’t open up, was always shiftin’
I had myself a man who’s strong, and tall, and Christian
Pushed past my limit, I just can’t seem to forget it
Unleashed fire burnt my finger ’cause I forgot I lit it
Arriving in Seattle, seven days and without a paddle
I remember your face and your hair and your name, and your smile
‘Cause I just couldn’t open up, was always shiftin’
I found myself a man who’s strong, and tall, and Christian
Pushin’ past my limit, I just can’t seem to forget it
And then I crawled back to the life that I said I couldn’t live in
‘Cause I carried on like the wayward one
And now through and through you’ve made me one
And now I am just but the saved woman
What with my cleared up eyes and my solid hands
‘Cause I carried on like the wayward one
And now through and through you’ve made me one
And now I am yours, a saved woman
What with my cleared up eyes and my solid hands
Was pushed past my limit, you’ve by faith saved me from it
It’s healed my life because I knelt while I lived it
