Tonight

Does anybody hear
others anymore
Or do they enjoy
watching me fall

Do they find delight
In my loneliness
Or joy and comfort
in my growing distress

I'm tired of the smiles
their fake embraces
Done with their false hope
and practiced lying

How can I find peace
Dear god show me
For i know only hurt
From those around me

I'm trying to change things
all on my own
but I'm finding it's hard
with so many opposed

I pray for your strength
your peace and hope
without you I am nothing
just another faker

They will never listen
unless I have you
In you i have power
to speak out your will

Don't let me become them
bitter, cold and angry
Give me love for them God
No matter what they've done

Help me live a life
full of your purpose
For i know you have chosen
my destiny

Joy. rise up inside
No more sadness
no more selfish thoughts
or discrimination

I declare this life
one of influence
overflowing, abundant
and blessed by God

I will not be down
because of them
I will not give up
for the enemy

but I will stand tall
even in the hard times
even when you're silent
and i don't know why

Even when walls cave in
and light fades away
the earth is consumed
by it's greed and rage

Even then I'll not quake
though my soul despair
I will hold firm
to all you have said

I will seek your face
and I will find you
for you are not far
from my circumstance

You hold my world
in your right hand
of favor and peace
to show I'm yours

and no matter the time
I'm yours to use
in whatever way
you need me most

but tonight holy spirit
hold me close
i need your comfort
i need your warmth

for tonight I'm tested
my soul is weary
The devil wants me
but he's not in luck

For i am not his
I belong to you
Hold me tonight
Hold me Father
