Here we go again on this downward train
Where all around everything feels insane
Knowing I must look to You in all things
Only You alone can give me total peace
I really did not want to be here yet again
On this somewhat lonely downward train
Feeling bereft and so very tired, so alone
However, this world is not my forever home
I must keep pushing forward and not flee
But keep looking forward, looking unto Thee
This is no time to whine, grumble or groan
Feeling bereft and so very tired, so alone
I seriously do need to get my act together
To not be constantly under the weather
In You alone I have all that I really need
But inside is where my heart simply bleeds
Your love for me is for sure without measure
Man, I seriously do need to get my act together
I have absolutely no idea what is going on
Life is falling apart; is going so wrong
Deep inside my heart seeming so crushed
Sleep is a haven right now and a must
I know Jesus with You is where I belong
But, still no clue as to what is going on
All I need is to simply be and to be let be
This is right now my desire and my plea
As crazy as this sounds; and it is crazy
My mind is a blur; is somewhat hazy
This is not as straightforward as it seems
All I ask is to simply be and to be let be
I will get through this storm I am sure
I have been here many times before
When doubts or insanity begin to emerge
It is in You Jesus; my life I submerge
You are my lifeline; It is You whom I adore
Hence, I will get through the storm I am sure
Where I am weak; You are my Strength
I need to loosen up; stop being so tense
Falling to my knees crying out Your name
You wash away the tears, this internal pain
Your love for me; You will go to any length
For where I am weak; You are my Strength
Is there a need to be on this downward train
I have to be strong; break free of these chains
You are my lifeline, my Rock and my Defence
You are the Giver of Life; You alone are my Rest
I will get through; I seriously need to be brave
Break free from this out-of-control downward train
