Crying Out

Oh God,

put your arms around me

and whisper in my ear

Late at night, in my dreams

when I feel like

crying out, for I fear

I cannot hear

your whisper or voice

Late at night, in my soul

when I feel like

crying out, and I

know it to be

sweet as candy

soft as velvet

and evertouching in my heart

Speak to me Lord

Late at night in my mind

when I feel like

crying out, ’cause when

I was a little

baby

I’m sure I heard you then

Late at night, in my crib

when I felt like

crying out, I want

to hear you now

when I need you

Is that really too much to ask?

Late at night in my bed

when I feel like

crying out.
