Take Me Now Away
Take me now away from trouble
I alone have brought to be
Lead my spirit through the darkness
Wash my body in the sea
Take me now away from crying
From my bondage set me free
Til I'm no longer scared of dying
Let the waves crash over me
Take me now away from hiding
From the dawning of the day
I'm so tired, Lord, of fighting
Won't you take me now away
Take me now away from feeling
In my pain and misery
That in despair I could find refuge
Won't you take it now from me
Take me now away from seeing
No way out and no way home
I can't find my way to heaven
I can't roll away the stone
So take me now away from trouble
From the worst that I can be
Lead my spirit though the darkness
From the darkest part of me
