Come away...
i sat and listened as everyone sangi had to
i had to just let the words wash over me
cleanse me
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
i took some notes but mostly listened as Kevin spoke right to my heart
"david... it is time to return
david... come home
david... you are free"
Come away with me
on a bus
Come away
where they can´t tempt us
With their lies
i tried to hide away during group time,
started to move inside myself
when He approached.
His gentle words
His gentle hands lead me to a place where i could sit quietly
in His arms
and He spoke to me...
I want to walk with you On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won´t you try to come
"david,
you are free
release your shame
this isn't your fault
I love you..."
Come away with me and we´ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I´ll never stop loving you
i resist
i fight
i turn away
i collapse
exhausted
on His lap
and i weep
forgive me
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I´m safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
As i left that place where His love met me
i wondered
i thought it was me who wanted to have this intimacy
i thought i wanted you to be close to me
Could it really be that you want me to be close to you?
i drove away to the tune of Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Could it really be that in such a short time i have made these friends,
that i have become a part of something that is already so meaningful?
