(Verse 1)
Another day goes by
Another war inside
Turning back from all that I know
To chase a world that’s growing cold
It’s myself to blame, dragging me away
Now I’m all alone in this cell
Though my sin has served me well
It cannot fill the emptiness
It can’t give strength for my weakness
Will my guilt cease? Will I find release?
(Chorus)
But You held me near
Not letting me fall
So I’ll lay it all down again
Erase it all
Surrender sweet
Laying at Your feet
And I won’t look back now
Lord, take me away
(Verse 2)
For all the times I’ve tried
My strength has failed
Walking with this weight that I wield
Forgetting all that You’ve revealed
Lord, I have failed You, And I’ve shamed You
Do You hear my hollow words?
Or are the cries in vain?
I cannot take this loneliness
Maybe death would end my pain?
I will reach for You, and I’ll kneel to You
(Chorus)
But You held me near
Not letting me fall
So I’ll lay it all down again
Erase it all
Surrender sweet
Laying at Your feet
And I won’t look back now
Lord, take me away
(Bridge)
“My child, I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
“For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone…repent and live!”
Now is the time
Today’s the day
Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay
Now is the time
Today’s the day
Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay
Now is the time
Today’s the day
Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay
Now is the time
Today’s the day
Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay
Don’t wait
