Silent Pleas

I can hear the rain outside falling Discouragement is all I hear calling I am alone with no ones hand to hold What is left of me will not be sold For I know tomorrow the sun will rise Tonight my heart breaks with silent cries I plea and wonder and cry out why Why have I been left to die To be chosen to face such struggle I do not know They say that what we reap is what we sow Giving all that I am and all that I have is what I do If only others could see, if only they knew The nights I cry in hope and prayer Praying for release of others greatest despair But when the day is done, here I am Nothing more than a mortal man The doings of a sinner and a saint Lord please answer before it is too late I know your grace is abound Near me I can feel your angels surround But as the darkness and faith falls Build up strength and love in the form of walls Not to keep others out but to draw them in To turn away from wrong and leave a life of sin My heart is lonely and craving a love that cannot be It is your plans that I wait to see Reasons and questions I will always seek and ask Behind the truth there lies a mask A place where reason and logic come to meet A place at the right hand of your seat Why must my heart remain so broken When the words of your name I have obediently spoken Why must my hands have not another to hold Perhaps you are creating yet the perfect mold Tonight I want to cry and break down in all of my storms Sadness, anxiousness and helplessness around me it sworms Help me to rise above it all in honesty and grace Bring me to a higher ground, a safer place Fill the empty void that my heart possesses Stop the disease in my body as it progresses Bring to me an angel that I know to be true Let me rest tonight with all my faith in you.
