Wash Away

June 30, 2006

My heart is aching, cut and bruised

my legs are giving out

and this is when I turn to You

although I'm filled with doubt

My spirit is completely crushed

my soul is feeling trapped

and this is when You need my trust

when all my cords have snapped

My eyes are blinded by the dark

I'm scared to even breathe

and God, You've never seemed so far

have You forsaken me?

Then all the ground begins to shake

the earth beneath me splits

I know my life must be at stake

I desperately clutch it

But I can't hold on anymore

and I fall through the cracks

I hear the rain begin to pour

and struggle to crawl back

Then You reach down and pull me up

and set me in the rain

I lay down in the rising flood

You wash away my pain
