The Heat of the Moment

I’m powerless over my addiction I’m relentless in my sweet infliction The heat of the moment showers Upon me truly hours after hours I lie here on your stone In distress, on my own I lie here on your stone I express myself all alone Doubt and shame shelter me again Show me a route in the heat of the moment...in the heat of the moment Wondering where you have been... Even in the cold of the moment, I feel God’s power so significant and elegant I’m in distress...I believe in my sanity... I express my depression in ways I can’t fathom honestly I want success...my spirits are unmanageably hard to handle I progress towards a happier lifestyle or I try to anyhow...I am a candle In the moonlight... In the moonlight... An eagle that takes flight... A hawk that hunts at night... Frightened by Satan’s sight Beyond the pain of our delight The pain of our delight Pain of our delight Of our delight Our delight Delight I feel the heat of the moment And it rises above the dark clouds I felt it since I was an infant, Wrapped in blankets and shrouds I need some guidance... I need some radiance... Hatred and love shelter me But, will I ever be free? Will I ever be free? I lie here on your stone In distress, on my own I lie here on your stone I express myself all alone Doubt and shame shelter me again Show me a route in the heat of the moment...in the heat of the moment Wondering where you have been... Even in the cold of the moment, I feel God’s power so significant and elegant I’m in distress...I believe in my sanity... I express my depression in ways I can’t fathom honestly I want success...my spirits are unmanageably hard to handle I progress towards a happier lifestyle or I try to anyhow...I am a candle In the moonlight... In the moonlight... An eagle that takes flight... A hawk that hunts at night... Frightened by Satan’s sight Beyond the pain of our delight The pain of our delight Pain of our delight Of our delight Our delight Delight Someone is greater than me And that someone is God almighty Growth and potential hit me extremely hard While I write this down like a bewildered bard For, I am powerless over my addiction In the heat of the moment, despite my affliction I adore happiness and higher direction Even in the coldness of my heart’s lamentation I lie here on your stone In distress, on my own I lie here on your stone I express myself all alone Doubt and shame shelter me again Show me a route in the heat of the moment...in the heat of the moment Wondering where you have been... Even in the cold of the moment, I feel God’s power so significant and elegant I’m in distress...I believe in my sanity... I express my depression in ways I can’t fathom honestly I want success...my spirits are unmanageably hard to handle I progress towards a happier lifestyle or I try to anyhow...I am a candle In the moonlight... In the moonlight... An eagle that takes flight... A hawk that hunts at night... Frightened by Satan’s sight Beyond the pain of our delight The pain of our delight Pain of our delight Of our delight Our delight Delight I’ve been lost in a passionate paradise for so long I’ve been found in Your eyes, in which I belong It doesn’t cost a thing to belong with You, although strife’s abrewing And do Your knowledgable Word of life and love, spiritually renewing I lie here on your stone In distress, on my own I lie here on your stone I express myself all alone Doubt and shame shelter me again Show me a route in the heat of the moment...in the heat of the moment Wondering where you have been... Even in the cold of the moment, I feel God’s power so significant and elegant I’m in distress...I believe in my sanity... I express my depression in ways I can’t fathom honestly I want success...my spirits are unmanageably hard to handle I progress towards a happier lifestyle or I try to anyhow...I am a candle In the moonlight... In the moonlight... An eagle that takes flight... A hawk that hunts at night... Frightened by Satan’s sight Beyond the pain of our delight The pain of our delight Pain of our delight Of our delight Our delight Delight I cherish recovery beyond the pain we dealt with I wish you farewell as you dwell in your labrinth Quit quilting your qualms of shame Instead, accept the blame and come back to the way you came - Holding on to a hopeful, joyous name Dread eats me up like a worm in the bread of blasphemous game I lie here on your stone In distress, on my own I lie here on your stone I express myself all alone Doubt and shame shelter me again Show me a route in the heat of the moment...in the heat of the moment Wondering where you have been... Even in the cold of the moment, I feel God’s power so significant and elegant I’m in distress...I believe in my sanity... I express my depression in ways I can’t fathom honestly I want success...my spirits are unmanageably hard to handle I progress towards a happier lifestyle or I try to anyhow...I am a candle In the moonlight... In the moonlight... An eagle that takes flight... A hawk that hunts at night... Frightened by Satan’s sight Beyond the pain of our delight The pain of our delight Pain of our delight Of our delight Our delight Delight I’m powerless over my addiction In the heat of the moment The heat of the moment Heat of the moment Of the moment The moment Moment The moment in which I reside in till this day I hope and I pray I dismiss this feeling of dismay I’m powerless over my addiction It’s like receiving a notice of eviction
