Turmoil

In the middle of the day, he turned to me "Mom's not home right now," he said I looked him in the eye, fear washing over me For there was no denying, I knew just what he meant I've heard fathers are supposed to love and protect Girls are meant to dream their dreams Instead, this nightmare goes on and on I turn to You as I fall down on my knees Give me strength; this life's too hard I kneel before Your throne Give me strength to stay right here Until You call me home Standing on the bridge so high above the water The ocean's churning just like me Tears run down my face as hope seeps out my soul Should I walk into the current to finally be set free Lord, help me with this turmoil inside of me I want to live my young-girl dreams Instead, this nightmare goes on and on I turn to You as I fall down on my knees Give me strength; this life's too hard I kneel before Your throne Give me strength to stay right here Until You call me home Help me, Lord Save me, Lord Keep me on the shore But it hurts too deep, I can't go on I want to go out to sea Lord, help me now for the burden is too great Save me from the depths before it is too late Give me strength; this life's too hard I kneel before Your throne Give me strength to stay right here Until You call me home
