Do Not Let Me Get In the Way

Suffering, depth, no gain, it rains
I stand above his grave
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

The tide is high and coming this way
My strength is null, my sight is vague
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

My troubled heart is not in vain
I cannot carry on this gray
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

Prayers unanswered I must say
I feel as if I have been lead astray
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

Tears, fears, heavy they weigh
I have borrowed time to stay
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

Holy Spirit, help me see the light of day
You were not there when I needed, you strayed
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

Bring me back into your arms, there is less to weigh
Faith is null, it has gone array
Oh, God do not let me get in the way

Broken apart, I feel betrayed
Only you can heal me to this day
Oh, God not let me get in the way
