Tears trickling down mine face
Staining mine cheeks with red
I seek imploringly for Thy grace
Thy saving hands, Thy steadfast hold
Were stained with the same pain
Thy hand reaches and takes my soul

Pain piercing mine heart
With sharp agony and dread
I plead for Thy mercy to impart
Thy saving side, Thy cleansing blood
Were pierced with the same grief
Thy Mercy over me floods

Flowing tears, healing tears, strip away fears
for reaching hands, that love the man
beneath the scars, like shattered stars
holds tight to hope, with heartbreak notes
the sorrow held, because they fell
but long for more, knees on the floor.
Father hold them, come and show them
mercy meets them, where "forgive me" stands.
Down from Heaven, breaching chasm
between who I could be, and who I am
Offering of grace, for them for me
more than we could imagine
more than we could dream
and I pray you grant us

Unrequited Love
Unrequited love,
Nailed upon a tree.
Broken hands,
Holding me.

Unrequited love,
A traitor to His law,
Deserving death for disobedience,
His forgiving what He saw.

Unrequited love,
Nailed upon a tree.
Fading lungs,
Giving breath to me.

Unrequited love,
Wrapped up in a sheet.
Arms drawing me,
To dance to a different beat.

Unrequited love,
Sealed into a grave.
Eyes boring into mine,
Daring me to be brave.

Sometimes I just want to cry
Sometimes I just want to shout
Oh Lord rain down your mercy
Upon this earth that is dry
Oh Lord rain down your mercy
Pour down the rain of mercy
Let your mercy flood the earth
Let the waves of grace come upon the shore
Let the clouds of the heavens cover the sky
Let the raindrops of love pour down on the wilting grass
