ON THE LEDGE

ON THE LEDGE;
Hughes Turner Project HTP: Hughes/Turner/Di Cola
---------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I lose my faith in heaven
Sometimes I lose my fear of hell
Sometimes I feel so lost
I don’t like to be petted or pitied

I yearn for night in day
I yearn for day in night
I am not confused 
My dreams
Are as such, I don’t like to remember

Sometimes I feel I am on the ledge
Sometimes I feel I am all alone
Sometimes I feel I am losing the fight
I don’t like to live this way

I yearn to be saved, by You
I yearn to walk tall, by You
It is not much to ask,
My lord
Be mine, Be with me, Live me

Rekindle my faith in heaven
Renew my fear of hell
Calm me down, My lord
I like to sing your praises, Ever so 
Make me strong

Many of us feel that we are on the edge of life, likely to fall anytime. God alone can save us. When we feel confused and confounded, let this prayer rise from our heart. A very earnest plea to God, powerfully articulated.
