To You I Cry...

Oh my God
    To You I cry...

You claim You have plans for us
    Yet we are still in exile
You claim You have a future for us
    Yet we cannot escape the past
You claim You offer us hope
    Yet we cannot see past the darkness

Come, oh God, and make straight our path
Come, oh God, as we acknowledge You
Come, oh God, and led us not into temptation
Come, oh God, as we trust in You

You are the God who parted the sea
    Yet we drown everyday in tears
You are the God who raises the dead
    Yet we still we are living in the pit

You are the God who calls light from nothing
    Yet darkness is our only companion
You are the God who heals all afflictions
    Yet we must still cry out unclean

I don't know what to do
    Where is Your Spirit of Truth?
I don't know what to say
    Where are Your Spirit with words?
I feel so alone
    Where is your Spirit of comfort?
I feel so broken and crushed
    Where is your Spirit of healing?

Oh my God
    To You I cry...

Do my words even grace Your presence?
Do my words ever turn Your head?
Do my cries even stir Your heart?
What is it that stays Your hand?

I sound like one who has no hope...
    Though I know that is not true.
I sound like one who has no faith...
    Lord I believe, help my unbelief.

Come today with Your Victory!
Show the world Your power.

Come today with Your Healing!
Remove all the hurt, guilt and shame.

With bold words I cower in Your presence
With a faint heart I approach Your graceful throne
With tired knees I will bow down before You
With a broken heart I call out Your name

I plead with You Father, take notice of my house
Bring the peace that passes understanding.
Just one more time, reach down with Your hand
That we might stand tall once again...

Then as a husband and father I might lead
In the way You intended all along
Then my wife and my children will fall down before You
Once again, at home, at Your throne.

Hear me oh God,
    To you I cry...
