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.

Life is a series of disappointments. We live in a broken world that is deprived of the one thing we need most to be happy--a relationship with the one who created us. The thing is, Angel, God didn't leave it that way... he didn't turn his head in disgust and walk away. I have no doubt he was righteously angry and deeply saddened that we would choose something so small over something so tremendous... but you know, you know he's calling out to you and you KNOW he loves you despite what you've done. The "trick" is to not let our own stupidity to keep us at arms length (or any other distance) from asking for forgiveness and allowing God to restore the fellowship. So take some time to let restoration come and remember we have a daily fight... because we on our own will always pick the low road, give it up to God and we can take the high ride.
