Help Me O Lord

I may not see you but I know you're there You show it time and time again in how you help me But Lord, sometimes it's just so hard to comprehend it To comprehend that no matter how many times I stumble You will always be there to help me up You will always help me to gather up the broken pieces And put them back together, the way they should have been The way they were before I fell See I'm not the only one that gets hurt when I fail Things around me are crushed as well Like a water droplet into a perfectly still pond There is a sort of ricochet effect Things around me are thrown off their tracks And set apart from where they were before But I pray that also like the pond You calm me and help me to find peace again.

I Continued To Love

Maybe I was confused Maybe I was wrong I loved too fast I loved too long I gave you my heart You tossed it aside You faked that you liked me You shouldn't have lied I prayed that you'd love me For more than a friend But I knew it wouldn't happen And I couldn't pretend But I continued to love you Even though I knew That how you felt for me Would never be like I felt for you
