Fighting Inside Shadows

God, I need

You now Before the

morning

finds me

Hold this locked-up heart

I lay awake

counting every bruise

From words that cut me down

They said I was a mistake

But You still call me found

I chased smoke and empty names

Trying to wear a face that was not mine

Oh Lord, pull me back tonight

God, I need

You,

I need You now

I am tired of breaking inside

Every day,

every night,

every hour awake

Bring this lost heart

back to life

(oh Lord)

Some days I bend beneath the past

Some days I lose my

way

But grace

keeps knocking at my door

When I cannot pray

If I fall before the dawn

Meet me on the floor

Teach this weary soul

To breathe again, Lord

God, I need You,

I need You now

Every night,

every time I am awake You are here with me I am

not a mistake (amen)
