Here I Am Again


Here I am again my Lord
Awake while others sleep
Just looking at four walls
At the shadows oh so deep
It is so very quiet Lord
So quiet in this place
How I wish I could see you
See your precious face

Oh Lord how I long
For the sleep that won't come
I try so hard Lord
But it seems there is none
This place is so still
Not a sound can I hear
But the tick of the clock
No one else see the tears

How I wish all the aches
Would just go away
How I wish all the pain
Would just leave me today
How I wish that my healing
Would right now set in
So I would be free
From this on going pain

Oh Lord I'm so thankful
That you understand
That you're always there
With your outstretched hand
I know I'm not alone
Anytime, night or day
But Lord how I wish
This pain would go away

Lord I've placed my life
Totally in your care
Even though there's pain now
My heart feels no fear
For you are my Saviour
I know you're here with me
And I know for sure
One day I'll be pain free
