Turmoil

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to say,
Yet I do know why I feel this way
I'm drifting in a sea
on endless waves of confusion
Wishing I could end this strange delusion

Drifting further out to sea
Away from the Father that I know loves me
I see myself adrift
yet no one can pull me in
How far must I fall
Before I get up again?

I see my sin surround me
I feel the heartache of those I love
Yet stop this I cannot
Without intervention from above

Take my freewill Lord,
Do with me as you may
I know that I am sinning
That I have gone astray

Take these desires from me
Though with out friends here I'll be
Only those unseen faces
That lift my arms for me

Thank you for those friends
Even though we've never met
For all that I'll have left
will be on the internet

My family will surround me
though I turn away
Trying hard to help me
If only I'd let them be

This turmoil is within me
not outside for all to see
Hidden deep within my soul
Crying hard to become whole
