LIFE IS NOT THAT SCARY
The starless night seems so dark,
with no light to guide me.
The moonless night has not a spark
of hope in it’s sky. Oh, so scary.
With no light to guide me,
I have no hope of finding my way.
No hope is seen in the sky. Oh, so scary.
I bow my head to pray.
I have no hope of finding my way,
for unrepented sin is revealed
as I bow my head to pray.
From me, the path of righteousness is concealed.
Unrepented sin is revealed
to my wayward heart.
From me, the path of righteousness is concealed,
because from it, I so willingly did part.
To my wayward heart
guilt clings, building walls
because from Your ways, I so willingly did part.
I try to pray, but my every sin, my heart recalls.
My guilt clings, building walls
between us, preventing me from approaching Your righteous throne.
I try to pray, but my every sin, my heart recalls,
and the peace I once had is now gone.
Between us, preventing me from approaching Your righteous throne,
stands all my sinfulness and wretchedness, that only You can take away.
The peace I once had is gone,
but Your grace and mercy can replace it, if I would only pray.
My sinfulness and wretchedness, only You can take away.
I have departed from Your very Presence,
Your grace and mercy can bring me back, if I would only pray
with a believing heart full of repentance.
I have departed from Your very Presence,
with no light to guide me.
With a believing heart full of repentance,
I find my hope in You, and life is not that scary.
