Strings

Great is the God who brings me to my knees
To pray and seek, to find relief
Use my heart to stand in these raging seas
And when you're tumbling and feel like you don't have wings
I offer you mine; for flying is nothing when you are falling
and willing is my heart to sink, to ease your suffering
But sometimes I feel so lost in these lines we keep drawing

At times I feel my chest is so full, surely my heart will burst
Other days a ravaged hole, an emptiness, from so many hurts
Never has this felt so real, so tried and very true
My world it seems, attached by strings, to every inch of you
 
Walking through these shattered remains
Of what I once hoped to obtain
But now I see that ideal projection
Falls so short of this perfect imperfection
 
Bound sometimes by fears and doubt
Praying to God to show me His path out
But at every twisted turn in this road
Visions of a new future, that never seem to corrode
 
Love is patient, love is kind
A truth that's constant on my mind
Torturous seems the wait
To see God's plans for my fate 

Until that day when you are ready decide, to take my heart or break it
I pray to God I follow His will and that I'm strong enough to take it
