Dear Jesus

Jesus, I need to ask you some questions
some facts I keep forgetting
like where did you go and why?
I'm lonely trying to write my story
the plot is still unfolding
like sand blown into my eyes

I'm told that you still love me and
I know that I rarely love you back
I don't really like to get my feet wet even
shallow water's hard to bear

Lately, right choices seem to escape me
I'm getting quite good at failing
don't guilt me now for trying!
Jesus, I want to be able to hear you
but wind goes passing by my ears
am I deaf as well as blind?

I'm told that you still love me and
those words keep slipping from my mind
my hope fades like every sunset then
it glows in the sober morning sky

Rise up, rise up and take your place again
Rise up, and cast away our fears
Rise up, rise up and take your place again
Rise up, restore our wasted years

Jesus, I need to ask you some questions
all hope I keep forgetting
where did you go and why?
