Feeling Alive

I'm clinging to a silent goodbye.

Praying you won't see me cry.

Dead is understating how I feel.

I'm decaying, and it seems there's no way to heal.

~

My heart is shattered, and I'm giving in.

But You breathe into me again.

I'm realizing that there's another choice.

You've been speaking in a loud voice.

~

Cutting isn't the only way.

I can make it through the day.

With your help, I can take the pain.

And your love can keep me from going insane.

~

I was falling, and falling fast.

And I thought this love lived only in the past.

But like Your Son, I can feel alive.

God, you are now my only drive.

~

Though I was in pieces, You can make me whole.

God, now I give you my life, and all control.

Before I was slipping into the night,

But now I am being consumed by Your blinding Light.
