Shatter

-V1-

Here I am
I’m reaching out now
Can you hear me?
Do you want to hear me?
I’d weep when no answer came, still do
I feel like I am faltering
That the faith, it’s fading
It’s all spilling out of me
Your fountain is draining
Mend my wound
Seal it so maybe I can see you

-Chorus-

I want to surrender myself to you
Though I am not sure if I believe
Won’t you wash you’re holy water over my eyes?
Unbind me from the weight holding me down
There are so many distractions

They steer me away when I am searching
I’ve shattered
Faltered off the path I have always wanted
Fell back into darkness
I have lost you
Shattered

-V2-

I do not want to be led astray
Will you cover my ears?
Shut out all the screaming horrors
I want to taste the faith, please
Save me from my weighted down life
Free the burden of suffering so long
I want to wake up and see you

-Chorus-

I want to surrender myself to you
Though I am not sure if I believe
Won’t you wash you’re holy water over my eyes?
Unbind me from the weight holding me down
There are so many distractions

They steer me away when I am searching
I’ve shattered
Faltered off the path I have always wanted
Fell back into darkness
I have lost you
Shattered

-Bridge-

I never wanted to fail
I never wanted to lose faith
I never thought I’d falter
Just thought I’d always have you
But now I have lost you
Can’t you open my eyes again?
I need you

-Chorus-

I want to surrender myself to you
Though I am not sure if I believe
Won’t you wash you’re holy water over my eyes?
Unbind me from the weight holding me down
There are so many distractions

They steer me away when I am searching
I’ve shattered
Faltered off the path I have always wanted
Fell back into darkness
I have lost you
Shattered

lovely song, what do you need help with?

You are there.
Just out of sight and just out of touch.
If I surrender again,
If I fall and crash myself
Would you come running?

I look for you in the confusion
In the mist I can make out a silhouette
Is it you standing there
Or is it my reflection in the rain.
Is it you or me running again?

Standing in the rain.
You can't see my tears.
My heart doesn't cry anymore
I am sad but there's no tears
It seems wasted, my time and years
But still I can't let go. I see your silhouette

I remember the flesh on the silhouette
Your hand as you touched on my heart
But the shadow feels empty and there's no You
You break my world apart

Standing on the edge of me
Considering my offering
What I am, is nothing to give
But as your garment falls from heaven
It's my call to live

Secluded and exposed in You
I take a breath of your new Life (It's deeper than my unconscious)
And now I see the shadow of Your hand
giving me the invitation to go deeper than before

To a rest where I can't see
To a rest where all I can do is believe
To a rest where once again my eyes are closed (My future)
To a rest where I will learn to really trust You

Xon that is AWESOME, makes me wanna cry :'( I pray that i never fall away from God and that anyone who has the LORD will gently bring them back to HIS AMAZING, UNENDING and FOREVER FAITHFUL LOVE!

You wouldn't let me fall away Laura, so I definitely wouldn't let you fall away!

thanks Scott :-* i just wanna say that God never leaves His children, like the footprints in the sand thing.....

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?
The Lord replied,
The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.

God is always faithful always there for us. I know that however far we may get from Him, He will ALWAYS be our Lord and Saviour, and will place us on a path that leads right back to HIM.
