All I can do is cry
But the pain is still there
I know I'm the reason why
And why should anybody care?
I'm not good enough
Don't do what I should enough
And nobody'd miss me anyway
Each day she goes through
Worse than the one before
And she wonders if she
Can really handle any more
Lonely in the midst of a crowd
She is a desperate soul
Crying out for someone
To make her life whole
She knows Christ and serves Him
With the best that she can do
But in the end she just cries harder
When she thinks she has failed Him too.
I know nobody loves me
Wish I could disappear
Because anywhere is better
Than being here
I've tried and tried a hundred times
And I've nothing more to give
I've failed the ones I once thought cared
I don't deserve to live...
But then I said,
"Listen, sister of my heart,
I know someone who loves you
I am here with a listening ear
And I will always love you
I will hug you close
And dry your tears
I will remind you
To take all your fears
And leave them at the cross
With the One who's promised
To carry them for you
I know how hard it is to surrender
All the doubts that fill your heart
But I know He wants to heal you
And make you feel a part
Of His family again."
"Tell Satan to be gone
Forever from your mind
And fill it instead with the One
Who thinks you are one-of-a-kind
He thinks you are more precious than gold
And wants you to never lose hold
Of His love."
She looks up at me
Eyes filled with new hope
And she says,
"You know, I think I can cope.
For just knowing I'm loved
Makes my heart much lighter
And all of my dreams
Now seem so much brighter
I see now that doing it all on my own
My chances of success are slim
But I can do all things
If I just trust in Him."
