Nothing Left
By the bed side I kneel to pray
Not quite certain just how to say
I haven’t the courage to see this through
No longer can I be the one they turn to
The weight of the burden overwhelms me
In my mind in my heart I yearn to be set free
I've prayed for strength know this is true
Yet there is not a soul to help me through
Days turn in to weeks slowly slipping by
Neither a visit a call nor a shoulder on which to cry
Life treasures have faded into emptiness
I kneel asking to be taken into god's caress
Nothing left for me in this earthly space
I pray you'll lift me into thy forgiving embrace
