Album: Safe As Milk
What do you do when you're in total frustration, Lord?
What do you do when you're in total despair?
What can you say when you dial that number and the only person you want to talk to is never really...really quite there?
This person cannot bring me happiness,
This person cannot bring me joy,
Gracious God, lift me higher, let me see your beautiful face,
I gotta know who my true friends are, and where's my home sweet home.
Many nights I've wandered alone down this street of pain,
Many days I've stumbled out into the darkness of daylight,
Many years I've wandered, wondering just where I'll end up,
In a festering heap of flames, or a shivering cold, cold night.
Good God Almighty, scoop me up, set me free,
Let me walk in your forgiveness; make a man out of me,
Lord, I've been jumping at shadows; like a snake, I've been eating my tail,
Let me trip, let me stumble, but please, please don't let me fail.
I'm a fly by night, I'm a dog by day,
I've got a room full of beautiful memories, growing old and in the way,
I got a heart that's been broken over and over again; some by lovers, some by brothers, but most of all by my own dirty little hands,
Let me sit at your holy feet, let me count the hard cost of what is right and what is wrong, of who is king and who can only be the boss,
Well, let me lie awake, seek the truth from thy holy face,
Out of the holy mouth thundering forth out of the holy place,
Let me walk, stand and talk with the mind of one given over only to the things that I know you hold dear,
Let me soften my heart, let me harden my footsteps as I press toward the mark of your safe place without any fear.
Hold dearly to me, hold dearly to me,
Hide me, drape me, closely and safely,
Hold dearly to me, hold dearly to me,
Hide me, drape me, closely and safely,
Hold dearly to me, hold dearly to me,
Hide me, drape me, closely and safely,
Hold dearly, hold dearly,
Hide me, drape me, closely and safely.
