Take Me Home

Such a deep, deep sadness no one can ever know

Why can’t I fly far beyond the sea

Free from pain and sorrow

Why—I don’t know

If there’s a God, why can’t I feel Him

With such a need as this at the lowest point I’ve ever known

So alone within my soul, where is my Father now?

The tears well from within my chest and I desire only to die

For I cannot understand why a faithful servant must suffer like this

Why do bad things happen to good people?  As a test?

But haven’t I proven it tenfold before?

Please, I beg, take me home

For I cannot bear this emptiness

Why am I alone on the cold, dark sea?

Shivering, crying, wandering, dying?

Please, I beg, my Lord

Take me home
