It's been a long year Like a long sleepless night. Jacob wrestled the angel, but I'm too tired to fight. Every wednesday for two years we've met. I've showed you all my anger my doubts and bitterness.
There was no judgement in your eyes just the silent peace of God, that felt so real in you. Will you hold the light for me? Will you hold the light for me?
And I stay up late because I cannot sleep. I don't want to face the quiet where its just God and me. I'm waiting for the gavel handing me the sentence down, because I don't believe forgiveness or even repentance now.
There was no judgement in your eyes Just the silent peace of God, that felt so real in you. Will you hold the light for me? Will you hold the light for me?
I want to feel redemption flowing through my veins. I want to see with clear eyes beyond lust and hate. I want the war to be over, and know the good guys won, and I want love to hold me to know I'm not alone.
Standing around a willow weeping, we were praying in the backyard. In the chill of the night the friendship light reminded me who we are ...who we are, who we are
Will you hold the light? Will you hold the light for me?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
Bob Dylan, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
Another great line from the same song:
"money doesn't talk it swears"
My favorite song lyric:
You say he's weak
He's a super freak
You don't believe that he came
You say God is dead
have you lost your head
You got him swingin from a chain
Hold the Light
Caedmon’s Call

Every wednesday
for two years we've met.
I've showed you all my anger
my doubts and bitterness.
