Much Afraid

While I was making the bed this morning, Haven came in and was messing with the stereo in our bedroom. This is not an unusual occurrence. What made today different is that she somehow managed to skip through the tracks on the CD and end up at the one below. The words to this song flooded my mind and I found myself feeling every single one of them. It's so where I'm at today and I really needed to see in print all the things that have been swirling around in my mind.

"Much Afraid" by Jars of Clay

Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again
So I lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you

All of these things
I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I've made
Sweet Jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet Jesus, never ever let me go

So happy to love
Yet so far to go
You lead me on
to where I've never been before

All of these things
I've held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme
Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I'm so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I've made
Sweet Jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet Jesus, never ever let me go
