Memories in a Sea of Forgetfulness

close my eyes
not to remember
every crime or time I fell
into the open arms of temptation
driving the nails
how does your love remain so faithful
to the unfaithful
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i’ve fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away…
the sea of forgetfulness
draw my heart
out of the darkness
where i was hiding from your face
into the open arms of forgiveness
offering grace
into a place where there’s no memory
left to press against me
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i’ve fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away…
the sea of forgetfulness
Bridge:
stumble or fall
you cover them all
nothing to hold you
let them go
love takes me in
and covers with in
to welcome the child you know i am
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i’ve fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away…
the sea of forgetfulness
