Flesh
Mr. Flash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart's breaking in my chest
And my mind's physically failing
(Oh yeah)
I feel as though I'm at the end
Cos my heart hurts with every beating
(Oh yeah)
I know I'm not well, but I am set
(But I'm set, yeah, yeah, yeah)
To go where the Holy Spirit's leading
(Oh yeah)
I'm gonna kill this flesh until I'm dead
So to eternity I'd resurrect
I know what the journey's worth
I care not what it would take
To get to you Lord
My mind's made up
And I'm gonna live for you, Lord
And if I should die
It will be all for you, Lord
This sacrifice I give
I kill my flesh for your cause
I care not what it would take
To get to you Lord
My mind's made up
And I'm gonna live for you, Lord
And if I should die
It will be all for you, Lord
This sacrifice I give
I kill my flesh for your cause
A lotta things been happening
Man, I kid you not
I've had battles with my health
Thought I should seek rehab
Some from the torture from the past
On my little self
And how I struggled to survive
Those that wished me hell
I mean I had to harbour in the things I felt
My emotions were bottled
Couldn't express myself till now
See Elohim came into my life
And now I've seen His Love
No doubt can fill my mind
Yeah
This Holy Light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Until the whole world is aware
Of the amazing things that you do
And all the time you saved me
When I was on a marathon
To get away from you, my Lord
I don't deserve this love too
If you could love me in my sin
And in my brokenness
And gradually lead me to The Light
Then God you are true
Whatever holds me back from appeasing you
My Lord
I say you're worth the sacrifice
As your blood, for mine
I care not what it would take
To get to you Lord
My mind's made up
And I'm gonna live for you, Lord
And if I should die
It will be all for you, Lord
This sacrifice I give
I kill my flesh for your cause
I care not what it would take
To get to you Lord
My mind's made up
And I'm gonna live for you, Lord
And if I should die
It will be all for you, Lord




This sacrifice I give
I kill my flesh for your cause
