Tears are flowing from my eyes

All life within me wails and cries

How long O Lord, how must I wait?

I’m wrestling pride, guilt, and hate

In pride I turn away from You

and in anger I sin against You too

I murmur, complain, and grumble

do I realise its against You I mumble?

“Pick up your cross, follow Me” I hear you say,

“For I AM the truth, the life and the way”

Lord help me! I hear you calling

but Lord I’m tripping and falling

I’m slipping, crashing and stumbling

the harder I try, the faster I’m tumbling

Catch me Lord, before everything shatters

It’s only in You Lord that anything matters

I need your help, reach out your hand

Lift me out of this pit of sinking sand

I’m desperate for you now, I’m seeking Your face

Let it be eternal things that I continually chase

You’re here now,
and some how…

I know you were always by my side
Its only when I sin, that its I that tries to hide

Silly me, when you’ve already paid the cost

Thank you Lord, you sought me while I was lost

I cry about those who are unfaithful to me

but I’m unfaithful to you, Lord now I see…

You have shown me unconditional love and care

and in all honesty, to You, its not fair?

Lord, forgive my wandering heart

from You Lord, let me never depart

I have everything that I need in You

with all my heart I know this is true

Help me to love you more each day

Hold my hand, and show me the way

-In Jesus name I pray
Amen
