Born with a promise, a Nazirite from the start
Samson fought lions, with nothing but bare hands apart
With a jawbone of a donkey, he broke the enemy's shield
No army in Philistia could make him yield

Lord, remember me, was the cry of his soul
I ran from Your presence, I lost all control
I chased illusions, walked my own way
Sovereign Father, hear me pray today

In the lap of Delilah, the secret was sold
The razor cut deep, and the spirit grew cold
Blinded and bound in the prison of Gaza's night
Grinding the grain, far away from the light

They mocked the great judge, they laughed at his fall
As he stood in the dark, with his back to the wall
But in the silence of the chains, the pride began to break
He remembered the vows he so easily let forsake

It wasn't about the hair, it wasn't about the might
It was about a broken spirit finally getting right
He bowed himself mightily, took a deep breath
Found his greatest victory in the hour of his death

Lord, remember me, was the cry of his soul
I ran from Your presence, I lost all control
I chased illusions, walked my own way
Sovereign Father, hear me pray today

Repentance brought the power from on high
He was lost in his ego, but found in his cry
Repentance brought the power from on high
He was lost in his ego, but found in his cry
