Where You Are

I don't know why this is happening
It's the opposite of what I need
I want to love You with all of my heart
But my body's tearing us apart

It's the same thing again
I'm drowning inside of my sin

And I just want to be where You are
Lord, cradle me in Your arms
Take away my pain
Let me live for You again
You're all I need, capture my heart

'Want a faith that throws away my fears
Faith that washes Your feet with my tears
Faith that lets the blind man see, faith that makes the mute man sing
Faith that holds me together through all the suffering

Here I break down again
I stretch my hands toward the heavens

Cause I just want to be where You are
Lord, cradle me in Your arms
Take away my pain
Let me live for You again
You're all I need, just take my heart

The holes in Your hands and feet
Scream a love that burns on for me
There's nothing that I can do
I'm fixing my eyes on You

Cause I just want to be where You are
Lord, it's in Your wings, I'm safe from every sinful harm
You take away my pain, You wipe away my suffering
You're all I have, You're all I want, there's nothing else
You're in my heart

  1. Wow. Did you write this? Is it a song? Because your talent of writing combined with musical God-given gifts would result in basically the best song in the world! ;) I love this poem. It's not only poetic, but truly speaks your mind, and God's perfect message. I'm practically speechless. It's beautiful! <3 You speak the truth Lisa. A truth that this world needs to hear! Keep it up. You're amazing! Thanks be to God for giving us a hope we can have faith in! We all want to be where you are Lord!!! <><
