If you spontaneously fall from earth,
Who will catch you?
The birds will let you pass.
The clouds will break in two.
And I know it's true
That no matter what you do
You can't fly,
But I can try.
And if I seem contentious,
Why do you waste your time?
If I hold God's hand,
I will fly.
Not of my own devices
But of the fact my Father's divine.
And when I happen to walk away,
To lose the path, become astray,
I miss Him because He's invested in me
Everything He can give.
Everything I want to be.
If I fall off the earth,
He will catch me in his arms.
'Cause I fall off earth everyday,
All those times I walk away.
I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't mean
To turn my back
So quick to speak.
Too many opinions on too many things.
Cruely, I'm cruel,
No longer meek.
If You chance to hear me today,
Please listen closely to what I may say
I've tried, and I've died,
So listen when I pray.
If everyone was like You,
Keeping me wise and kind,
I would be like You, too,
Instaed of the blind leading the blind.
I miss You.
I want You.
How can I come back?
I feel like I'm falling
Into an endless pit of black.
You say, "I'm right here."
But somehow I can't see.
If You are invisible,
Can people still see me?
The right way to go,
I'd be much obliged;
I'd let the world know
That You're perfect,
And blameless,
And sinless,
And righteous.
But I tread the fine line of
Broken promises.
Telling myself it's not so necessary
To keep in my line of vision
But I realize
When the day is done,
That nothing's been accomplished;
No battle has been won.
'Cause when I walk away from You,
I walk away from me.
I lose every chance I have
Of everything I want to be.
So, if I can glorify You today,
Instead of me,
That makes me great.
Because to be the biggest,
I must be the least.
And remember always
That Your love is free,
And I may have struggles,
And troubles,
And pain.
But they're gone in the morning,
Like midnight storm-rains.
If I need You,
I'll say so.
I'll let it be known.
Because I am the weak,
And You are the strong.
So, yes, I've been faullty.
Sure, I've been wrong.
But, give me Your love, Lord --
I won't be for long.
