lost within myself

God i come once again
lost within myself
a road of destruction i have led
a road of lost wealth to claim
why i beg do i come by here

i come frustrated at the world as well as myself
angered by all within
hurt, abandoned, tossed by the sea

answers come only with more questions tonight
hope, peace, and joy are lost on their plight far from sight
my plight, my journey has come to a nigh, as i sit and simply sigh

scared of the world, scared of myself, scared of even you
nowhere to turn, nowhere for help, God is it really you
needing some answers, needing some hope, needing a light in the dark
show me this day that you are the way
guide me i plead tonight

i’ve lost all hope as i clinch the rope tight twined around my neck
is this the solution, or is there more
God i please once more

if you are there, if you care, come by this place tonight
shine a light, give sight, to this one wandering in the night
show me the day, the dawning light
show me a ray of your bright Son’s light
show me the way, help me this day, for you are the only hope left

answerless i stand, trembling in fear
scared of all that’s ahead
i say i love thee, but fail to hit my knees
is that why i stand here tonight
a claim i made you’ll hold me to
a claim you won’t let me fail
as the storm throws down the hail of life
safely you’ll bring me through

give me hope, give me sight, give me light through the night
it’s you i want tonight
become real and begin to heal the callouses of my heart
never to part let me learn to cling and you always be a part

learns hard you’ve taught me well
please let me just a while in your place dwell
let me heal, let me mend, let me be well again
let me be a child newly born, free to explore, reservations no more
freedom, hope, peace, and joy
let me be the one to whom you bring joy
let me be the one to whom brings you joy
let me find my all in you

destruction and people they are all in the same
all drop with the setting sun
good times they’re there
bad times they run
i’m ready God to take the plunge
is anyone there?

guide me through the night
guide me on this plight
stubborn i can be, so help give me someone to see
my eyes, your words, bestow and prepare them for me
give me wisdom to see
