here i go

Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear
is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again
Talkin' bout the rain
And mulling over things
that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance
to tell him that
You love him
But here I go again,
Here I go again

Lord, You love him so,
You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe
he will never die
But how then will he know
what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen
mirrored in my life

Maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear
is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go again
Talkin' bout the rain
And mulling over things
that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance
to tell him that
You love him
But here I go again,
Here I go again

This might be my last chance
to tell him that You love him
This might be my last chance
to tell him that You love him
You love him, You love him
What Am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard

so i was in bathroom this morning, just getting out of the shower and this song came on...(this cd is excellent by the way--esp #4) and it hit me like a ton of bricks. it made me think of a particular friend i havent talked to in a while, someone i miss a lot and worry about--one i pray for continually.  anyways...if you're reading this, i truly and genuinely hope you find some faith and solace in Christ, i know you choose not to believe, but i hope that someday you'll find the everlasting peace i wish for you. i love you and i'm always here.
