Samson

Before I breathed, the angel came

Called me Nazirite, spoke my name

Set apart to break their chains

God's strength flowing through my veins

I tore a lion with my hands

Struck down thousands where they stand

Israel's judge, their strongest shield

But pride made me a broken field

I had everything to lose

But I chose what I would choose

She asked me once, I laughed and played

Bind me with new ropes, I said

She asked me twice, I mocked the game

Weave my hair, but strength remained

She asked me three times, tears and sighs

How can you love me and still lie

My heart grew weak, my guard came down

I told the truth that brought me down

In Delilah's arms I fell asleep

Trading glory for her keep

Three times warned, three times I lied

Till I gave away my pride

The secret that I swore to hold

I whispered soft and let it go

In the pleasure of her lap

I walked into the enemy's trap

No razor shall touch my head

The vow I broke while in her bed

I woke to chains, my eyes burned blind

The strongest man, but weak in mind

But in the darkness, hair grew long

God's mercy stronger than my wrong

One last prayer, one final stand

I pushed the pillars with my hands

In my weakness, He was strong

In my ending, I belonged

From Delilah's lap to temple floor

I killed more in death than life before

They remember me Samson
