Song in the works

So... as a lot of you guys know, we're going through a bit of a hard time here at home. Well, a few weeks ago, when things started getting hard, my mom was hugging me while I cried and softly said, "Maybe you'll write a beautiful song out of all this." I didn't think anything of it at the time, but God has spoken to my heart in so many ways, that, the other night, I finally felt ready to sit down with pen and paper. So I said a little prayer, and here is the beginning of the first song I've written in a long time:

My feelings are lost behind
Words I can't seem to find
All I am
Has faded away
I feel exposed
All I can do is pray

So say the words
I cannot speak
And be my strength
When I am weak
I'm sorry that it took so long
To admit that I am nothing alone
It takes me crashing to the ground
Unable to move or make a sound
To realize you are all I need
For you must become more
And I must decrease

I am hurt
But I am healed
For I am loved
The promise is sealed
If that is all the hope I have -
Your unchanging love -
Then for that I'm glad

Shut my mouth
And change my heart
Mend it where
It's broken apart
Here's my offer
Here's my hand
Here's my life
Lord, Here I am.
