IS THIS A CLIFF I'M ON?
LORD,
YOU KNOW HOW AFRAID I AM
OF HEIGHTS.
SO, TELL ME, PLEASE,
HOW DID I GET UP HERE
BECAUSE AS OF A FEW DAYS AGO
I WAS WALKIN' ALONE FINE.
WHAT ARE MY CHOICES,
STUCK UP HERE WHERE I DON'T WANNA BE?
EVERYONE CAN SEE ME.
I CAN'T FLY,
BUT I GUESS I COULD TRY.
OR, BETTER YET,
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH,
EYES LIKE AN EAGLE,
AND THE WISDOM OF SOLOMAN.
THEN I CAN FALL INTO YOUR WINGS,
AND STOP TRYING SO HARD TO KEEP UP THIS PACE,
GET A WELL DESERVED BREAK
FROM HEARTACHE,
CUZ,YEP, GUESS WHAT?
MY HEART IS BROKEN AGAIN.
WHY IS THAT A SURPRISE TO ME?
I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT,
OR SO I THOUGHT,
BUT YOU KNOW HOW FRIGHTENED I AM
OF ANGER.
THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER
SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN.
THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING
THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.
I KNOW YOU DON'T MAKE MISTAKES,
BUT, I MEAN,
HAVE YOU SEEN ME LATELY?
I'VE REFUSED TO BE CODDLED,
STROLLED ALONG IN A WHEELCHAIR,
SO I PUT A BRACE ON MY LEG,
GRABBED MY CRUTCHES
AND I DID IT MY WAY.
OKAY, THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU JESUS,
HOW VERY MUCH I LOVE YOU?
YOU FIGHT FOR ME,
YOU SACRIFICED.
AND IF ANYONE SHOULD BE IN CONTROL,
IT'S YOU,
NEVER ME.
