when I’m down upon my knees?
I lie, and cheat, the truth be gone
God won’t you help me please?
I cannot hear you
You must have turned away.
There are echoes in my mind.
there’s silence when I pray.
My soul cries out in agony
the pain is very great.
I know You have the answer
I just don’t want to wait.
I’m always in such a hurry
I run right over me.
The things I say I’ll do
never come to be.
You’re not in anyplace I look
I can’t find you anywhere.
It’s getting to the point
I don’t think you really care.
I sit here in sadness
lost as what to do.
No matter how hard I try
I just can’t make it through.
I noticed a shining light
as it moved across the wall
It came to rest upon me.
I felt so very small.
In my head I heard a voice
it spoke so quietly.
It said, “I’ve given gifts to you.
I have heard your plea.”
Now it’s kind of funny
when I start to pray.
The voice inside my head
tells me what to say.
Oh my heavenly Father
You know my every sin.
All the things that I’ve done wrong
the trouble that I’ve been in.
I will to stand and do my part
there are things I need to learn.
I need to sort out things in life
finding which to burn.
I may not be an expert
in the things God’s given me.
But He helps me come alive
He taught me how to be.
I no longer cry at night
I rest so peacefully.
Of the nightmares that plagued my sleep
He’s finally sitting me free.
The sins that wore me down
I no longer have to bear.
If I need His helping hand
I reach out and He is there.
