Lately

Lately I have been running
Lately I have been hiding
Lately I have been hoping
Lately I have been dreading
Lately I have been missing
Lately I have been crying
Lately I have been lying

Lately I have ignored your smile
Lately I have ignored your words
Lately I have ignored your wisdom
Lately I have ignored you guidance
Lately I have ignored your help
Lately I have ignored your love
Lately I have ignored your peace

Lately I have lost your smile while I was running
Lately I have lost your words while I was hiding
Lately I have lost your wisdom while I was hoping
Lately I have lost your guidance while I was dreading
Lately I have lost your help while I was missing
Lately I have lost your love while I was crying
Lately I have lost your peace while I’ve been lying

Lord give me back your smile
Lord give me back your words
Lord give me back your wisdom
Lord give me back your guidance
Lord give me back your help
Lord give me back your love
Lord give me back your peace
