The Deceitful Tide - 12-12-99 - Miscellaneous - http://maxpages.com/lynziez/The_Deceitful

The swift, bitter wind stings open wounds.
The sun burns hot on the growing dunes.
The icy waves crash continuously.
The ocean stretches as far as the eye can see.
Someone is crying; I can hear the tears.
Someone is shivering; I can feel the fears.
Someone is laughing; I can see the smile.
Someone is broken from an emotional trial.
I search crazily for the compassion HE gave
When HE came into my heart and saved.
HE caught the tears I would cry all night
And promised that everything would be alright.
HE held me close in the frightening storm;
Wrapped a blanket around and kept me warm;
Gave me friends who kept a smile on my face,
But now it seems HE's gone off some place.
To where has HIS comfort gone?
Will HE return when I feel the dawn?
I need HIS mercy I've lacked for so long.
I need forgiveness for all I've done wrong.
I need the friends who were so great.
I am too weak to handle my own fate.
I need a blanket to keep me warm.
I don't want to go back out into that storm.
I don't want to go back to my old ways.
I cry when I think of those terrible days.
Someone is reaching out for HIM,
The picture is quickly growing dim.
Another is crying, I feel the torture.
Another can't make it any further.
Another is finding HIM once again,
Giving HIM all the treturous pain.
I watch from up on top of the dunes
And use my hands to cover my wounds.
HE's looking at me from the beautiful beach,
But HE's too far, I cannot reach.
Suddenly, the dunes doesn't seem so high.
It seems that HE's begun to fly.
The waves have calmed, the sun is not so hot.
I cry for HIM for HE's all I've got.
HE wraps HIS arms around me
And catches the tears that fall into the sea,
For it wasn't HIM who ran away,
It was me who ran away that day.
HE waited for me to call to HIM again,
And listened until I wasn't calling in vain.
HE heard my honest crying,
Knew I felt like dying,
Looked into my eyes with comfort,
Knowing how much I hurt.
It wasn't HIM who left my side,
But I, who followed the deceitful tide.
