The Sigh

*sigh*
The wound went deep
It'll leave a scar alright
That is, if we can keep
From bleeding out tonight
If the sorrow ever ends
If the healing ever starts
If these cuts will ever mend
In the furrows of our heart

*sigh*
I cannot sleep
I want to make things right
I want to take the leap again
Despite the weary fight
I cannot just pretend
I'm fine with us apart
I must break the pattern, stop the trend
Can't let this final chance depart

*sigh*
I know it's futile
My efforts are in vain
I mustn't put us through it all
Time and time again
But how can I move on?
How can I find new peace?
How can I accept that now it's gone?
That all these hopes must cease?

*sigh*
My Jesus, help me
I cannot bear this load
Can't carry it on, but can't let go
I'm powerless to move
Spirit, come and set me free
Whisper guidance for this road
I'll clasp the Fatherly hand I know
To rise again, my faith to prove

For in His arms is perfect peace
And joy untold forevermore
His sweet embrace in suffering seas
Reminds my soul of heaven's shore
For there is where my heart belongs
With death and tears forever past
My soul will rest with grateful songs
For He will hold me safe at last
*sigh*
