I Cry To You

When weight of the world is strong upon my shoulders
and all my efforts are not enough
When these moments of distance from You,
seem to linger on forever more
And the paintings that I've tried to paint myself
fall to the ground, broken in pieces
I call to You...

Because I'm on that floor now
Where I'm lying on my face now
tired, crying, and broken in pieces
just like that painting
I cry to You...

This Time In Your Life

This point in your life is as fleeting as the day
That comes with the morning, and leaves with the Sun
Precious moments we sometimes wish away
Then later ponder what we’ve done

Realize the precious moments that you have now
For you will never see them in the same way
What is available to you now
Will be gone someday

Updated 2: "Lullaby My Child"

The morning breaks another day
Your lonely heart is worn away
The memories of yesterday
Won't fade...
You want to feel a love once more
To feel the ache of pain no more
To rid yourself of all you hate
Ohh...

Sleepwalking a wire
You are getting higher

Lullaby
Rest my child

Yesterday the words seemed clear
On signs of where to go from here
The road was straight, appearing fair
Ohh...
That road has since been broken down
And you have since been led around
A lonely town you want to leave
Ohh...

Sleepwalking a wire
You are getting higher

Lullaby
Rest my child

Hiding Place

Listening to: Hiding Place - Redemption Songs

Amidst the sorrows of the way
Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray
Let me taste Thy special grace
And run to Christ, my hiding place

You know the vileness of my heart
So prone to act the rebel's part
And when You veil Your lovely face
How can I find a hiding place

Hiding place, hiding place

Lord, guide my wandering feet
Draw me to Thy mercy seat
I've nought to trust but sovereign grace
Thou only art my hiding place

How unstable is my heart
Sometimes I take the tempter's part
And slight the tokens of Thy grace
And seem to want no hiding place

Hiding place, hiding place

But when Thy spirit shines within
Makes me feel the plague of sin
And how I long to see Thy face
'Tis then I want a hiding place

Lord Jesus, shine and then I can
Feel sweetness in salvation's plan
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place
