I stand back from His presence
I shudder at the things I have done
I run from my only Love
I hide from the precious Holy dove
He sends His presence
He forgives my sins
He runs to me
He knows where I am
I run and run till I can't stand no more
I fall and want to stay down
What is this all about?
I can not figure it out
Why so much doubt
No one sees where my heart has been
No one can tell its been torn
I am all worn out
Nothing can come out my mouth
My wounds are too deep for human hands
Only God can do the work
Yet it hurts so I run before He is done
I cry that no one hears
That no one see my tears
Yet I do not even see them no more
I have wounds so deep I forget they are there
So much pain I become numb
Is it dumb to hide the pain?
Will I still be human if I feel nothing?
Will I still be alive if I can't even cry?
Will you say a prayer for me?
