Show Me

Show me who I am these are the quiet words I pray.
Show me how to live for you day by day.
Right now the world has me wrapped around,
Its muffled my voice so I can’t make a sound.
I can barely hear your whispers in the wind.
I don’t understand why my broken heart won’t mend.
I know you’re the greatest doctor of all.
You help people up when they fall.
But what if they fell deep into the pits,
All because of a step they missed?
How could you bring them back?
They turned their back on you and fell into the cracks.
Would you love them just the same?
What if to you they never again came?
They tore you down and broke your heart.
So how can you let them go back to the start?
You’re a loving God who loves us all.
But what about when we fall.
It must hurt you terribly inside,
To watch your own children die.
You gave us a way to come back to you,
And you told us what to do.
Sometimes it’s hard to find out Your dreams,
Because we’re surrounded by life’s beams.
I need to know how to go on,
Just help me make it from dusk to dawn.

Hiding From YOU

I’m hiding from you and don’t know why,
I’m doing things that make you cry.
I’ve lost sense of your presence,
And my life is now dense.
I shouldn’t have left you side.
Now all I want to do is hide.
You know where I’m at all the time,
Even when I’m committing a crime.
I should call out to you during all times of the day.
For some reason I don’t know if that’s okay.
I come to you about my troubles,
And sometimes they double.
I know that you will help me through them all,
But sometimes I refuse to call.
I don’t want to burden you with my pain
So I just keep it in my heart and it begins to stain.
The pain slowly seeps through,
And that’s when I don’t know what to do.
I turn my back so you won’t see me suffering.
I know now that makes your heart sting.
You called me home so many times.
You held out your hands and said everything will turn out fine.
I don’t know if I can understand that right now,
Because I’m lost in a crowd.
I’m lost in the world and can’t find a way out.
I find I don’t cling onto you and shout.
I hold on to my own strength and it doesn’t get me anywhere,
And sometimes I no longer care.
I don’t want you to know where I am,
Because I am caught up in sin.
I can’t make it anymore,
I have to open another door.
All of the doors are locked,
And I’m being mocked.
You’re the only way out,
It’s now when I shout.
Why do I wait so until I’m so far down?
Why do I wait until I’m bound?
I know you’re the only way
And by your side I want to stay.
The world pulls me down,
And when I realize that I don’t make a sound.
I figure I could do it without you
But without you I don’t know what to do.
I have to keep looking to the sky,
Because you’re the one who’ll help me fly.

The Talk

I need to talk to you about what’s going on.
I’m dealing with things all wrong.
I can’t seem to talk about what’s bothering me,
And I need you to see.
You were there once before.
Now it’s going on again & I haven’t knocked on your door.
I long to tell you how I feel,
But the pain is just to real.
I’m afraid of the changes that might occur,
Therefore I don’t say a word.
I know what will happen if I don’t stop,
And this is the habit I need you to help me drop.
I don’t want to hold it all in.
I definitely don’t want the devil to win.
It’s just so hard,
And God seems so far.
I try to search through my bible,
But it’s just feels like I’m going through trial after trial.
I no longer know what to say
When you ask me if everything is okay.
I know you’re there for me.
Sometimes it’s just hard to see.
I need you to help me overcome this.
So that once again I might be filled with bliss.

Call out to Him

How can you stay on the straight path,
When your pain is hidden behind a mask?
You try so hard to stay true,
But when temptation comes you don’t know what to do.
Your prayers seem unheard,
So sometimes you wonder why you even say a word.
The hard times almost kill your soul,
And the pain is getting so old.
You call out but it seems no one can hear,
And this is what you fear.
God is there,
You know he cares.
Sometimes you fall through the cracks,
And you feel there is no turning back.
He is holding out His hand,
He will pull you out of the quicksand.
You know He will be there when you call,
But sometimes you don’t want Him to pick you up when you fall.
You don’t want Him to see where you are,
Because you have traveled away so far.
You just want to let go of all the pain,
But that means it will rain.
Sometimes we hold on to our pride,
And put Jesus on the side.
Call back to Him,
For He is the only one who can take away the pain and sin.

Trusting God

God knows how to help me through.
I just have to ask Him what to do.
All of my problems, fear and pain,
He can take it them away all the same.
If I give Him everything I know,
His love will show.
If lay everything down,
My heart will be bound.
If give myself away,
He tells me everything will be okay.
I know He will guide me though my whole life,
And with Him I can walk through any strife.
I have to count on Him,
Because He’s the only one who can take away my sin.
If I mess up He takes me back.
He doesn’t hang me on a rack.
I need to know I can trust His love,
And I know I can because He created the heavens above.
No matter how hard life seems,
He is continuously watching over me.
He holds my hand when I’m scared,
He’s always there.
He dries my tears when I cry,
And teaches me how to fly.
If I give God everything I’ve got,
He gives me another shot.
It doesn’t matter how many times it takes,
He forgives my mistakes.
I can always run back to my Father
Because He created me as His daughter.
