/>I'm down on my knees again tonight<br />I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right<br />See there is a boy that needs Your help<br />I've done all that I can do myself<br />His mother is tired<br />I'm sure You can understand<br />Each night as he sleeps<br />She goes in to hold his hand<br />And she tries not to cry<br />As the tears fill her eyes<br /><br />CHORUS:<br />Can You hear me?<br />Am I getting through tonight?<br />Can You see him?<br />Can You make him feel all right?<br />If You can hear me<br />Let me take his place somehow<br />See, he's not just anyone<br />He's my son<br /><br />Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep<br />I dream of the boy he'd like to be<br />I try to be strong and see him through<br />But God who he needs right now is You<br />Let him grow old<br />Live life without this fear<br />What would I be<br />Living without him here<br />He's so tired and he's scared<br />Let him know that You're there<br /><br />CHORUS<br /><br />Can You hear me?<br />Can You see him?<br />Please don't leave him<br />He's my son urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:onlyaking:1669 2007-01-24T06:36:21Z 2007-01-24T06:36:21Z <strong>The Ones Left Standing</strong><br /><br />Who on earth could ever explain the great mysteries of life<br />Or the mournful and untimely face of death<br />But as long as we remain<br />We grow better, even stronger<br />Though we'll never be the same<br /><br />CHORUS<br />'Cause the ones left standing<br />Have to cry all the tears<br />And replay all the memories<br />The good and bad from the years<br />And we shoulder the weight<br />Of the work left to be done<br />And the ones left standing carry on<br /><br />The peace of God will abide in the season of our sorrow<br />In the valley of a pain we can't describe<br />In the palm of His hand<br />In a shelter from the madness<br />We can never really understand<br /><br />'Cause the ones left standing<br />Have to cry all the tears<br />And replay all the memories<br />The good and bad from the years<br />And we shoulder the weight<br />Of the work left to be done<br />And the ones left standing carry on<br /><br />And in eternity when<br />All the mysteries are gone<br />It will be clear that it was our God<br />Keeping us strong<br /><br /><br />'Cause the ones left standing<br />Have to cry all the tears<br />And replay all the memories<br />The good and bad from the years<br />And we shoulder the weight<br />Of the work left to be done<br />And the ones left standing carry on. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:onlyaking:1348

let you down<br />Forgive me if I slip away<br />When all that I've known is lost and found<br />I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day<br /><br />Morning is waking up<br />And sometimes it's more than just enough<br /><br />When all that you need to love<br />Is in front of your eyes<br />It's in front of your eyes<br /><br />And I never want to let you down<br />Forgive me if I slip away<br />Sometimes it's hard to find my ground<br />'Cause I keep on falling as<br />I try to get away from this crazy world<br /><br />And I never want to let you down<br />Forgive me if I slip

were dreamin’<br />And could wake up from my sleep<br />And find us all the way we used to be<br />‘Cause the love that used to be is dyin’<br />Is anybody even tryin’<br />And I don’t know how, I don’t know why<br />But somethin’ in my soul is cryin’ (listen)<br /><br />Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand<br />Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand<br /><br />One pair of hands broke some bread and washed some feet<br />Opened eyes and soothed an angry see<br />Belong to a man who could see our deepest need<br />And showed us love the way it has to be<br />‘Cause he knew the price that love requires<br />And he laid down his own desires<br />He stretched out his hands to save his friends<br />And said no other love is higher (so listen to me now singin’)<br /><br />Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand<br />Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand<br /><br />Love can change us, love can make a way<br />Only love can
