Tell Me What To Say

 

 
Tell me what to say to make it all go away
When I feel wrong for living as your dying
Just breathe I tell myself
Continue to live and smile, I'm trying

We've got to agree, and I feel ridiculed for honesty
Trying to handle it all the right way
To become what I preach and not just say I believe
You're still alive in some way
But still I feel my heart grieve

It’s more than I can take and beyond my ability to convey
Will I see you before the end, just tell me what to say?

Settling in, this sorrow is playing tricks on my mind
To have the answer to the letter and still be seeking to find
Waiting on You and God to pull through
Battling doubt and discouragement to maintain a hopeful point of view

Get better I pray, when it's all I can do to stand
I don’t know what to think, as I seek the Healer asking for His hand
Begin with my heart and touch my eyes to see
The way that I'm supposed to, to bring life into my reality

Promise Keeper, healing is the children's bread
Eyes locked on You in the midst this storm in which I tread
I'll only move wherever I am led
Weighing out my words carelessly, are there things better left unsaid?
Give me the how to on living when the weight of it is more than I can bear
You'd be my go to when it's hardest but who do I talk to now when you're not there?

Such wisdom you’re graced with began in the giver of every breath of air
Just tell me what to say till I find confidence in every broken prayer

Way Maker, show me a path in the wilderness
Where the soul can flourish and I know that it's all going to be okay
Caught in the in between, life is too short for waiting rooms
Renew my strength, give me the words when I don’t know what to say

Miracle Worker, I still believe despite a blind outlooks point of view
As the darkness closes in on me that men are liars and only God is true
What I would give just for a little more time to know that I can talk to you
Let the Son rise on the horizon, dispel night and give light to my view

Exalting hope and peace to surpass my reason
I don't want to spotlight darkness
When light afflictions only seem so bleak but for a season
Reset the structure of my faith to regain the stance to fight
Just tell me what to say, and help me to believe everything is alright...
