As I sit in silence
my mind wanders through memories
my heart suddenly in defence
Why do we always remember the good
when things are bad?
Why do we always remember the bad
when things are good?
I feel a tear build up in the corner of my eye
running down my cheek, softly stroking my lips
I place my hand over my heart
My eyes look up to the Heavens
"Jesus, why am I so confused?"
"Jesus, why am I so alone?"
"Jesus, why am I hurting?"
"Jesus, why do I cry?"
"Jesus... can you hear me?"
I fall asleep with teary eyes
and wake to a graceful embrace...
"My child, I will show you the way"
"I will never leave you"
"Leave your troubles at my feet"
"I will comfort you"
"When love took over, I died on the cross
for YOU. Now live for me.
"I can always hear you..."
