Confusion and depression scream
Of all the tension that does scheme
Reaching into the depths of the heart
Making the feelings there come apart
Recklessly wrecking passions
Feelings of tender compassion
All the joy God sends us
With His gentle spirit

What do I do when I don’t know where to turn?
Will I ever succeed where I’ve failed again and again?
What’s come over me… this destructive sensation…
Only God living in me can dissuade this temptation…
To allow the enemy to disillusion me

Feelings so alive that they chill me
With my spirit they send a plea
To let the enemy take over my dreams
But God, my Father, highly esteems
The child who keeps pursuing 
The blessings sent from above
Blessings of hope, faith and love
Flown on the wings of a dove

Where do I go when I can’t find my way?
Will God answer me when I send up a prayer…
Pleading for the Holy Spirit to comfort my heart
And guide me through these troubles with hope
That tomorrow will bring second chances,
Renewed purpose, dreams that are alive…
And fill up my spirit with God on the inside.

I want God on the inside, the answer to my prayers…
My heavenly Father, showing that He cares.
I want Him to go with me, through the good and the bad
Revealing the best in me, sharing happiness when sad
I need Him with me – alive in my soul,
Sharing His wisdom for my worry
Filling me with a new reason
He is my real peace

What do I do when I don’t know where to turn?
Without this man called Jesus I will burn.
I can’t take the chance of listening to the enemy
He would love to leave me hopeless and afraid
But, with Jesus, I know I can always pray
And He will answer, with answers that portray
True love from God, love that I depend on
