September Song
This confusing fire where the flames fall down to earth
The world is upside down and in the Autumn we forget
The pen within my hand leads the ink into its mark
The book upon my lap now lies closed its verse retired
No solace in these words
No mirror to the beauty here
The paper and the page
The poetry that falls and falls and dies
Can you make me live?
Can your words be true?
Can you take this heart?
Can you make it new?
Why can I not change all the pain I see?
Why do I do wrong ?
Is there something wrong with me?
My head is in my hands
The tears fall down my face
Why do you forgive?
Why cover me with grace?
How can I not search all these mysteries?
Forgive my unbelief, help me to believe ......
Like leaves the questions fall
Silent, empty, stilled, untrue
And in my heart I know you will never change
And all I have is you
This confusing fire where the flames fall down to earth
The world is upside down and in the Autumn we forget
The pen within my hand leads the ink into its mark
The book upon my lap now lies closed its verse retired
No solace in these words
No mirror to the beauty here
The paper and the page
The poetry that falls and falls and dies
Can you make me live?
Can your words be true?
Can you take this heart?
Can you make it new?
Why can I not change all the pain I see?
Why do I do wrong ?
Is there something wrong with me?
My head is in my hands
The tears fall down my face
Why do you forgive?
Why cover me with grace?
How can I not search all these mysteries?
Forgive my unbelief, help me to believe ......
Like leaves the questions fall
Silent, empty, stilled, untrue
And in my heart I know you will never change
And all I have is you
