Sometimes things get too extreme, they seem impossible to bear.
It's also hard to remember, that there is someone who even cares.
I know that is not true, but I am always fighting that in my mind.
It just always seems in my pain, caring arms are hard to find.
I have to fight those thoughts and feelings
cause' I know that they are not true.
Caring arms surround me, and when there is not...there is always you.
Deliver me from this darkness Lord, you promised me you would.
My only hope is in you, because everyone else says they have done all that they have could.
You are the only one who can save me now.
I am pleading with tears, while at your feet, I bow.
It is a desperate heart that cries out to you.
Comfort me, hold me, and show that you love me too.
I know my cross is much smaller than what others have to bear..
but Lord, look down, help me with mine, show me how much you care.
It is dragging me down, I am struggling to hold on.
Give me your strength God. The strength you gave Jesus your son.
For if I had that, I know I could win this fight.
I'm tired of struggling to stay in the light.
So Lord, again I am asking you please...
to deliver me from this darkness while I wait and believe.
