Into the Fire

I’ve dabbled in writing lyrics for songs. This was written in 2010, I think. So, something a little different for this Friday . . .

BACK AND FORTH

Cold, hard day.  Far, far away.

I’ve been so far away.

How did it get so dark?

When did the light go out?

All I see is gray.

And what I know is stark.

I can hear His voice.

Somewhere in my dreams.

He’s callin’ me, it’s my choice.

He is everything He seems.

But the other one taunts me.

His voice chills my soul.

How can I ever be

Anything but the fool I’ve become?

All I see is gray.

I don’t want to be this way.

I can hear His voice.

Somewhere in my dreams.

He’s callin’ me, it’s my choice.

He is everything He seems.

I’m tired of the heavy load.

Can’t carry it no more.

How did it get so dark?

When did the light grow dim?

All I see is gray.

I’m stuck inside this sin.

Let me hear you now, O Lord.

Sing to me once again.

I hear your sweet, sweet voice,

And now you are my only choice.

Set me free again.
