Longing

Guard my heart from all the worldly pain Bring peace to my soul And from sin let me refrain For I have been so broken for so long By Your light teach me right from wrong Help me to walk in Your way without a doubt Bring me to my knees And Your name I shout The journey seems so dark I cannot find the light To me bring goodness , love, and what is right. Help me to believe Your word will prevail When I was once so strong Now I feel so frail Bring me back to the place Where the darkness is no more Close my past, give me a future of hope Let my heart soar Take away the sadness And bring joy back into my life The pain is so deep. It cuts like a knife Where is the compansion that I'm longing for Bring me back to the place of peace that I was before I know that place I felt the warmth of Your light Take my burdens and help me to win this fight
