Comfort Me

Grey haze surrounds me, suffocating silence,
As I wake to a cold, still dawn –
The heart-shaped seams on my blanket
Are ripped out, as I hold it tight to me,
And I cry…

Through heavy mist You call my name,
Gentle pleas search for my soul –
While bonds of burden tighten their grip,
My eyes shut, Darkness takes a bow,
And I cry…

Comfort me
I don’t know where I’m going
I’ve lost the directions
Or I’m already there
And there’s just no one here but me
Comfort me

A flood of tears like liquid glass
Cuts across my face
And everything but my life
Flashes before my eyes
Guess I was already dead
Comfort me

Trembling hands reach, heavenward,
Straining against icy chains –
Fear and grief bleed through my pores,
Burn my skin - this shame seeks its relief,
And I cry…

Silver clouds gather above my head,
Living Water pours like rain –
Rays of gold beam from Loving Eyes,
Hold my gaze – cold gives way to warm,
And I cry…

Comfort me
I don’t know where I’m going
Give me the directions
And stay with me there
‘Cause there’s just no one here but me
Comfort me
