Album: Return to Your Rest

I hear the darkness to you
Is as bright as the sun1
How much longer will I 'war 'within
Until you come?
Do 'you hear me
Am I wasting my 'breath
Send your light to my eyes or I will surely sleep in death2

I have a loyalty to life3
But I feel dead
When the sand won't stop raining down inside my head
Buried alive in time
Do I move first for you to abide?
I have interest to exist3
Eloi, Eloi4
Have you washed your hands of this?
Is your patience running thin?5

My soul is gripped by sheol
I don't have the words
To move this solemn stanza6
On to the next verse
I'm short of breath
By the stone in my chest

Deep cries out to deep
Sweep over me7
Deep cries out to deep
Drown me in the water
I won't fight to breathe

Bring my mind to rest
Bring my weary mind to rest8

Do you have a song that you sing for me?
Do you sing it out with any regularity?9
Do you rejoice when I long for your voice?
Can I hear a whisper of your melody?

Sing over me

Though you're weak in heart
And failing in flesh10
My peace will protect you
Return to your rest11
Remember me, child
Bring petition and prayer12
I am right there beside you
Do you trust that I am there?13
