hope it goes away

I cannot turn my back on this when
I have so much to say

But all I really want to know is,
all I want to know.

All I really want to know is,
all I want to know.

Can you reach me?
Can you teach me?
Can you tell me all I need to know?

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me?
Can you tell me all I need to know?

And I need to know.

Standing here on a cold November day,
as the wind chills me to the bone.

Searching for the words that I might pray,
and finding that I have none.

And I'm asking forgiveness
for ever having to wonder.

Did I ever take the time
to call upon your name, Jesus?

Did I ever take the time
to look into your eyes, Jesus?

Did I ever take the time
to thank you for dying for me?

Did I ever take the time
to tell you I love you, Jesus?
Jesus?

Laying here on the floor again,
as these thoughts cloud my mind.

And I feel you pull me to your words,
towards the inner peace of my mind.

And I'm thankful that I never have to wonder,

Did I ever take the time
to call upon your name, Jesus?

Did I ever take the time
to look into your eyes, Jesus?

Did I ever take the time
to thank you for dying for me?

Did I ever take the time
to tell you I love you, Jesus?
Jesus?

Taking Time
