torn apart

feels like my mind is being torn apart
trying to feel with what remains of a broken heart

wherever i go i find no rest
even when i try to pray and beat upon my chest

all i hear is an uneasy silence
with thoughts that try to force me into compliance

to the lies that continue to surround me
slowly making me believe i can never be free

how long o Lord will you be far away
you promised me that you would always stay

but my heart is dying within
is it the devil or is it my sin

that is causing me to feel this way
please help me Lord before i begin to stray

from the path you have laid out before me
the only road that leads to eternity

for wide is the road that leads to hell
but sometimes i feel i'm on it just as well

when o Lord will this suffering end
when o Lord will you take and mend

this broken heart that's dying inside
change it Lord with one that abides

to the call of your beautiful voice
irresistible grace that leaves us without choice

for in our choice we chose not your ways
but continually chose to stubbornly stray

so would you finish the work you’ve started within
so that my life, my faith, my worship may truly begin
