If I could just SEE YOU

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the oceans shapeless form.
The water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head.

If I could just see you everything would be alright.
If I could see you this darkness would turn into light
and I will walk on water, and you will catch me if I fall,
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright, and everything will be alright.

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown,
so why am I ten feet under and upside down.
Barely surviving has become my purpose
'cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface.

and I will walk on water and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

Dear God, where are you???? I am drowning, I am running, I am hiding. You are nowhere. If only I could see You, Icould fly. If only I could see you... I would be alive. I am dry, I am dusty, I am failing. GOD HELP ME!

You ARE, You are simply... unimaginable. I can't wrap my mind around Your wonderful ways. I know that I have to praise you in this storm. I have to keep praising, O God, I want to mean what I say. I want to worship You in a way that is pure and right and true. Please don't be offended when I try. I want to be a beautiful sound to You, I don't want to insult You with false praise and meaningless words, just vain repititions... just this empty shell trying to sing to the Creator. Resounding, but out of tune. Thundering shamefully in Your ears. O God, dear Jesus, Father, what kind of sound do You hear??? What kind of heart do you see??? What kind of scent do You smell??? Am I so offensive? Am I so blind?? Wake me up. Open my eyes. Breathe in me. Wash my heart, this stained glass inside. Dirtied by my own shame. MY own. It is all mine, and it is my stumbling feet that drag me thru this desert. Can You carry me without me feeling it? Can you whisper in my ear tho I am deaf to Your voice? I am deaf and blind, God bring me back to life. "
