"Lord, I Need You Now"
In the midst of tossing and turning,
I long to cry out,
It's something my soul is yearning,
I feel like I could shout.
I've been hurting for so long,
Seeing all I love grow weak,
Lord I need you to keep me strong,
Lord I know it's you I need to seek.
Lord, I just don't understand why,
You have taken the ones I love,
Sometimes I want to cry,
But I know they are with you up above.
I've been giving them all I can give,
I've been helping with all that I can,
But I don't see why they couldn't live,
It's something I can't understand.
Lord, I am so tired of this pain,
It seems like nothing is right,
What can I possibly gain,
I'm so full of fright.
Lord, I need you,
You are the strong one,
I know you will be true,
I know you'll help me carry on.
Lord, I feel like I could give in,
And just crawl up and die,
I don't see what there is to win,
All I seem to do is cry.
Then you step in my life,
And grab me by the hand,
You get rid of my strife,
You make me understand.
Lord I know with you,
My life will be okay,
I know you'll be true,
And be here all the way.
Lord I need you to hold me,
And keep close by my side,
I need you to help me see,
I need you to let me confide.
I love you Lord with all my heart,
And I now know that you are there,
Thank you for not being one to part,
Thank you for being the one to care.
