"Help Me
To Know Me"
Lord, help me to know me.
I used to know me well.
I knew just who I was and
where I wanted to be.
I looked forward to the future,
for life was good, you see.
With my loved one by my side
no mountain was to high,
no burden to heavy to bear.
I always trusted you and
you were always there.
but then one day I lost my love,
and my world came tumbling down.
I reached out for an anchor,
but no anchor could be found.
I cried out to you Lord,
but I heard not a sound.
No peace could I find,
nothing to ease the pain.
When the grief became so great,
it seemed more than I could bear,
I stepped outside myself and
watched from afar.
It was like looking through a glass
and watching me go on.
I no longer had to feel,
my life was not my own.
I know you must have spoke to me
and tried to hold me tight.
But I just wouldn't listen Lord,
I wanted my loved one back.
I know you didn't leave me,
you've been here all along,
waiting for me to step back in,
telling me my life is still my own.
The trouble now Lord is that
I don't know who I am.
I heard you last night.
You came to me in my sleep.
I see more clearly now, but I need you
to help me to know me.
