I Cry Out

Yet steadily, constantly, graciously

Oh, I love you still

I know you are so faithful

Surely you will answer my cry

Stephen Pursell, 11/3/02

Like you, the way I've asked to

With freedom, with abandon

Richly, deeply, everlastingly

Oh, to love again

And stride into the Light

Of your perfect promises

Let all else fall away

That I would again take hold

You're the key, you alone know

Better than I, you know my need

Please rescue me anew

Oh, please come again

Gentle tears, invisible caresses

I remember your soft touch

I know I do, I remember it

Oh Lord, you're the One I love

That was really so wrong?

What did I do?

Where are you, why are you...?

Frustrated by your silence

Distressed to be here again

Aware you are the only way out

God help me

"Out of the depths I cry"

Terrified to fall in again
