PRAYER FOR THE AFTERMATH

sitting alone after the storm
in a house of debris
living in the aftermath
missing the presence of You
and i need some help
i could use some help
and i need You now
i need to hear from You
oh how i need to hear from You
sitting alone after the fall
wishing i could travel back in time
different choice
different voice
i would pay attention to
oh how i could use some help
i could use a little hope here
maybe if i would lift my eyes
maybe if i would listen
maybe if would take the narrow way
maybe if i would trust You
i wouldn't need help with this mess
maybe if i would remember
You are here and You were there
You go nowhere
why do i
maybe
You are here with me
with all the grace one needs
and how i need You Lord
how i need Your grace right now

FEELINGS (Hold Fast)

it's the feeling you get
when the day seems open
everywhere beckons
and you go nowhere
it's the feeling you get
when temptation whispers
it's only a matter of time
everything calls you
everything knows your name
and you want to be right
and you want to be wrong
it's the feeling of surrender
when the day is dying down
old habits creep upon
memories long hidden
long forgotten
old heartaches pang with new ache
and you miss the places you have gone
it's the feeling you get
when the day is open
no plans no places
no where you gotta be
quiet promises of love
quiet places get hold of you
words that drew you once
try their best to capture you
words that lie
try to get you to believe them again
hold fast to the truth
hold to what is true
hold fast to your mind
hold fast to your heart
memories beckon
temptation whispers
it's the feeling you get
when you are standing still
