The Song

About a month ago Gabe told me he wanted me to write a song. My first reaction was to laugh (alot) at the idea. It's not like I would be able to sing it or even play it, so why would he think of this?? However, once he mentioned it to me, the idea wouldn't leave me alone. 2 days later turned my song in to him.
I make no claim to this being any good but I figured I would post it because it just fits in this point of my life...

I Bow My Head

I close my eyes to numb the pain
I close my eyes to shut out the shame
I bow my head and cry out your name
Can you hear me?

I feel so alone, darkness is all around me
I don't even remember the sound of your voice
I bow my head and cry out your name
Can you hear me?


You reach down from heaven
Oh God, you are my saving grace
You hold me with your nail-pierced hands
Oh God, you are my saving grace


When I stumble and lose my way
When I am too tired to try again
I bow my head and cry out your name
You always hear me

Many times I fail to answer your call
I don't always see your will for me
I bow my head and cry out your name
You always hear me


You reach down from heaven
Oh God, you are my saving grace
You hold me with your nail-pierced hands
Oh God, you are my saving grace
