Teresa

Jesus, I need you; lover, don’t leave
Did you call my name just to plunge me deep into the darkness?
Do you know that I can’t even hear your voice?

Accusers around me on every side
Whispering to me that I’m willfully blind
That I’m clinging to nothing
But all I want is to clear the noise

So I reach out my hands to find you
Where you have been hiding
Maybe I’ll see you deep in the eyes of the dying

And you know I’m not asking you for a sign
I trusted your promise, I gave you my life
But I guess I just miss you
I feel so alone in the silence

So I move closer to plague and disease and disorder
Maybe I’ll hold you in the beggars and thieves that you died for

Just stay, just stay with me
Just stay, just stay with me
I’ll rejoice in my suffering
If you just stay, just stay with me

I look to the hills
I lift up my eyes to the heavens
Maybe I’ll see you
Flickering on the horizon
