Sad To Sleep

 I have to say I'm sad to sleep
It makes me cry,it makes me weep

I never see your face in my dreams
It just won't happen, so it seems

I don't know why it happens this way
When your foremost in my thoughts throughout the day

It would mean so much and be very dear
But  I guess I'm not allowed to see the glory there

I guess I wouldn't mind, except it makes me so sad
I have to wait til morning to see your face and be glad

 Sad to say, I don't dream of you normally very much
When I do,I don't see your face, just feel your essence and such

So I cry before I go to sleep, because I'll really miss you so
I won't get to  think of you, and I love you more than you know

But I need my sleep because I'm tired and lonely every day
Maybe you'll be in my dreams tonight, to the  dear Lord I pray

Why, He Asked Me

"Why," he asked me
"Do you keep going back there again
To that old familiar place
That's a cause of all your pain

It started so long ago
When you set those roosters home to roost
You wanted to fit in and not be yourself
You wanted to give yourself an artificial boost

One thing lead to another
You lost a part of yourself
You sold out to the world
Put your soul up on a shelf

It got to where you couldn't escape
In the grace of God, He came to your rescue
Leading you back into His pasture
Using a method unique to only you

Then you wanna go and mess it up
Instead of turning to me, you held it within
Then gave it to your false friend to fix
You know there had to be discipline

Now we think you finally understand
Give up that fake friend and stop doing wrong
I don't want to lose our communion
Because even a day without you is too long

Come back to me and stay
Never again are you to leave
What we have is so much better
I love you, please believe."
