Hear Me As I Cry

Hear Me As I Cry

God give me strength
It’s harder now
And it grows day by day
I haven’t been the best, You know
But it’s all I can say

The distance, Oh, it’s killing me
And so many other things
I want to laugh and smile again
It’s all dawning on me

I’m sorry God, You know I am
And at last I can see
What You meant by what You said…
Some things don’t come naturally

A lesson learned in life like this
The harder the fruit do fall
I’m trying to be positive
But it’s like I’m not trying at all

The numbers, the dates, the signs, the dreams
Eerily spell the truth
I’ve dipped into a sweet regret
One that I can’t delude

Unless You change the course of it,
Lord, I am at the till
Grinding blindly for this hope,
Broken
Open
Ill.

I’m not perfect, I fall short
God, I’m thoroughly lost
Take me back some how my Friend
At whatever cost.

You know my deepest plea tonight
Grace be, more than I
Incense prayers draft up to You
Hear me as I cry.

I ask no simple thing my Lord
This extends further than I…

Listen to my prayers, dear Lord
Hear me as I cry.
