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.
