Fallen Away

Again have I fell
I am mad with myself
And the distance has grew
And I’m farther from You

So myself I attack
Cause I cannot get back
And I want to just bow
But I do not know how

So I do all I can
To come back to Your hand
To come back to Your face
And this distance erase

But we still are apart
Though with all of my heart
After You do I seek
But instead of the peak

I am stuck at the base
Even though You I chase
Even though I’m aware
That You are always there

And that though near You are
It still seems to be far
I don’t know what to do
To be closer to You

And though I am stuck
I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in
Till I find You again

But for now I will wait
And I’ll try to keep faith
That one day I will see
That You’ve come back to me

So the day that You do
And my hope becomes true
I’ll say bye to this stress
And my soul can then rest
