Father, Help Me Now

As you watch from heaven, What do you see in a faithful man—? Who can do nothing for his love? Except to say that I want to be with her...

But her fear of me, Runs deeper than I have ever seen And her heart takes her from me Into that inferno of flames. Where my hand cannot bear to touch, Where fear runs through all the minds— Of men who have had great pasts, And now look forward to the tomorrow that will never come.

Dear father, Lay your faith on my bare hand, That light does not look upon— So that I might rise from the ashes, As a phoenix from the fire, Becoming the man I had hoped— With his fists raised high As he leads people home, With hope in their hearts and love in their minds... This is my day to be, now—Father.
