YBD Tsunami - Angels

Ay
Everywhere I go I feel I'm walking through a cemetery
Every headstone is another soul missing any
Ambition to be living as a missionary
But there's a reason that I'm even in this cemetery
Maybe I'm just as dead
Steady drowning in the lifestyle in which I tread
I prefer to be the needle, with no thread
But deep inside I know I'm lost and I need to be lead
So God, clear my head

I can't heal my mind
Lord send angels to my side
When my spirit falls down so low
In the dead of night
Only You can make things right
Don't know what I'm searching for
Drowning in my pride
Lord how do I sleep at night?
I transgress like no tomorrow
Congregation prays, I lose focus from Your face
Give me peace, I can't keep my eyes closed

I need reassurance
I need to know that I am worthy of your mercy
Cuz Satan keeps the wheels in my brain turning
Sometimes I wonder if I'll still end up burning
He's lying, I'm saved, but how strong is my yearning
To be following the one true God
He who saw we were good, although we live so flawed
Man it's so amazing that we're saved by grace
Cuz if not, we're in a meaningless death race
I need to talk to Jesus, face to face
Within the kingdom of Heaven, just a taste
Cuz if there's anywhere to find real love
It'd be right there within His embrace
And Lord I'm sick and tired of just floating through space
And letting life carry me farther from your ways
So with this song I wanna give you praise
In the midst of this album and its many displays

God, I've been seeking esteem, but only from myself
And the only time I take you off the shelf
Is when I want things to go my way
And "your will be done"'s what I forget to say
But your sweet forgiveness that you portray
Is the reason I can rest at the end of the day
Lord I long to keep myself out the way
And let you shine your light to send me where you may

Waiting
Contemplate the day of your return while
Evading
The enemy and everything he turns
No trading
My soul under any circumstances
If I give up hope now that's how evil advances
So I pray that you would help me keep my eyes on your glory
For the rest of my days, I know it's best
Cuz you're the only reason I can call myself blessed

I can't heal my mind
Lord send angels to my side
When my spirit falls down so low
In the dead of night
Only You can make things right
Don't know what I'm searching for
Drowning in my pride
Lord how do I sleep at night?
I transgress like no tomorrow
Congregation prays, I lose focus from Your face
Give me peace, I can't keep my eyes closed

And Lord, I know
That I can bring this song to the altar
And be 1000% certain
That you will hear it
Amen
