"taking light into dark corners"

I Hear You Calling

I Hear You Calling

Nobody knows the trouble I see,

Nobody knows my sorrow.

Nobody knows the trouble I see;

Oh, yes, Lord!

I could drown in my tears -

cos nobody knows -

I could drown in my tears -

the trouble I see.

As I wander wasteland's city streets

where fear and insecurity meet,

and I fumble round and try to see

through the debris of my memory

and I cry.

As I try again and fail again

to rescue dignity from pain;

looking for my confidence,

hiding from my embarrassment

and my shame.

And I let you down and I let you down

and I can't see why you'd want me around;

I'm not good enough to be with you,

not wise enough to know what to do

oh no.

Then I hear you calling, calling my name;

Then I hear you calling, calling my name;

searching for me, reaching for me,

rescuing me, healing me,

forgiving me, lifting me,

holding me, telling me

how much you love me...

And I hear you calling, calling my name,

And I hear you calling, calling my name.
