Remember Me Once More

Judges 16:4-31

[Verse 1] Delilah asked the hidden measure of the strength within his frame, Fresh cords failed, new ropes broke, woven hair escaped again. Day by day she pressed his spirit till he opened every door, And the secret of the Nazirite rested naked in her hands. [Pre-Chorus] Seven locks fell in the silence, And he did not know the LORD had left. [Chorus] Remember me once more, Strengthen me only this time. Though my eyes have lost the daylight, Let these pillars feel my hands. I spent the gift You gave me, Still hear one final cry. [Verse 2] Philistines bound him in bronze and took the light from both his eyes, In the prison he turned the millstone while his hair began to grow. Dagon's rulers filled the temple, praising idols for the man, Then they brought him out for sport and set him where the pillars stood. [Bridge] A young guide placed his hands upon the columns holding up the house, Three thousand watched above him while the lords looked down below. Samson prayed, then leaned with all the strength returned for one last act, And more fell in his dying than had fallen through his life. [Final Chorus] Remember me once more, Strengthen me only this time. Though my eyes have lost the daylight, Let these pillars feel my hands. I spent the gift You gave me, Still hear one final cry. [Outro] His brothers carried him to Zorah, And buried strength beneath the earth.
