MAN OF SAND

Cried this morning reminiscing on my childhood
Climbing trees, chasing dreams, it was all good
Cried this evening thinking 'bout how I am now
Lost sight of where I'm going and I can't
Bow down to anything but my fears
Got all these questions I've hidden through the years
Looking for answers but closing off my ears
To the One who gave them to me
And I know that I won't always know them
Lord, prepare me for the fire
For it is I with the life that is chosen
I need to lift You higher

Don't step away from me
I'm two steps away already
And I can't keep holding on
If You can't stay strong
I can sing these songs, but
That don't take away my doubts
That can't take away my fears
Tell me that You've got me
Remind me You're holding on
Say, "I'm right here"

I struggle with doubt
I struggle about
Every time I feel I'm without you around me
I don't think I'm ready for love
I'm caught up in lust
Even though You already set me free
I cry a lot
I'm down inside
It's a lot that I'm tryna hide
This lock and key gonna be the death of me
I can't deny I'm lost in this life
Alright, I'm sick of the tricks that he plays on me
Sick of the pit that I'm in down deep
Sick of the lies
Sick of trying to get back to a younger me
When I was still naïve
I don't wanna pay for the view like the rest
I wanna be the kid with the "S" on my chest
I don't want the gold on my neck just to flex
I wanna be Peter Pan, but
I've grown past the phases of knowing nothing
I know too much now, and now I'm stumbling
I'm glad that You got Your hand on me
'Cause if I was alone, I'd be six feet deep, so
I don't ever take Your love for granted
I'm the man of sand, another tear I'd vanish
But You wipe them away
And You build me up
So I'm asking You, please don't give up, please

Don't step away from me
I'm two steps away already
And I can't keep holding on
If You can't stay strong
I can sing these songs, but
That don't take away my doubts
That can't take away my fears
Tell me that You've got me
Remind me You're holding on
Say, "I'm right here"
