If I’m being honest

I have to write these words down

They’re suffocating my heart

I want to die, I want to escape

And yet the thing I want to escape

Is not worth dying for

But “how quick would it be

To walk in the ocean and drown”

Lord take these thoughts from me

Forgive me for giving them my ear

Be my refuge please

Hide me from the thief

Give me shelter in your wings

I’d understand if you told me no,

In the streets I’d rightfully sleep,

But you say “come. Come to me”.

So to you I will go.

Let me not look at the greatness of the Foe

But let me look at the sufficiency of the Lamb

Surely, You are my good, oh Lord.

Keep me from daydreaming of lesser things

Certainly of these things too dark to speak

You are my good

There is only You

You are my good

There is only You

All I am is sinful and weak

But You are my good

Your strength I shall seek
