Lay awake

As I lay my life down at your feet
You whisper words to me oh so sweet
As I lay awake at night wondering what I did today
I need to quiet down to hear you say I love you
My eyes are shut but may my vision be fixed on you

I look around and I see all your creation
Staring, shouting, there is a God who cares for this lost generation
As lay awake looking into your eyes
Help me remember you paid the price for all my lies
Tired but I find my rest in you,

The days seem to get longer, harder
But as I look to you to entice me, they become easier
I know I am not perfect, but please help me learn from my mistakes
Mishaps happen, but You are there to rescue me when I am sick and crying
Please take my mangled life, bent and dying and replace it with a heart like yours

Pain for the lost who have never heard
A heart for the ill
For You watch them still
A mindset of suffering
Trusting you to bring me through

I lay my life down at the threshing ground
For you to scrape away all the impurities this broken heart has
Please refine me with your blood, rushing all around me with your flood
There is no place that I find more meaning, then meeting with my creator
This is where I find true healing, looking into your eyes I can see you smiling

Open up my ears to hear your whisper
It may come in a flame or a wind, but help tune my ears
As I block out every other fear
I have nothing on my own,
But as I look back at missed opportunities I’ve blown
Bring me back to the cross, where true love was shown for me
