Where are you, my Saviour,
\nWhen I need you most?<\/p>\n
I spoke Your name,
\nYet my voice returns empty to me.<\/p>\n
The hurt of heart torments me,
\nThe pain takes my spirit prisoner.<\/p>\n
I look for refuge, an escape
\nYet I find the walls drawing in, with no way out.<\/p>\n
I have cried till my tears are dry,
\nBut nothing releases me from being me.<\/p>\n
I am drowning in my sin, and I cannot breathe,
\nMy faults surround me, and I cannot see.<\/p>\n
Set me free from the vice that grips my life,
\nThat has imprisoned my potential,
\nAnd threatens my future.<\/p>\n
Please Lord, hold my hand,
\nHave mercy Lord, and heal my heart.<\/p>\n
Do not turn your eyes away from me,
\nBut restore me with your right hand<\/p>\n
I know it was by my own hand that formed this chasm,
\nAnd by the disobedience of my own heart that I lost sight of you.<\/p>\n
O Lord, silence the voices which condemn me,
\nSmash the walls which have been built up,
\nAnd tear the roots of their foundation in me!<\/p>\n
For you are a God who redeems
\nAnd delivers those who trust in you.<\/p>\n
The chains of death have no claim on me,
\nFor there is salvation in crying your name.<\/p>\n
You have done the work for me,
\nAnd in faith I will claim the victory.<\/p>\n
