Please tell me what you think of this. I wrote it during a time in my life when I was unsure of my relationship with God, but things are better now. Anyway, here it is..enjoy! =)

Crying Out by Cheri E. ©
It's dark again, and I can't see,
You're standing on the edge of me;
Just out of sight and out of mind,
Why are You so hard to find?
I'm looking, searching, all in vain,
My language is like acid rain;
Eroding, controlling my heart and soul,
I need Your grace to make me whole!

Chorus:
Crying out, You are my song,
Why is my life going wrong?
You are my chance, my only Fate,
But in the dark my heart still waits.
Searching, looking, losing You,
At a loss for what to do;
I want to sing in praise again,
I'm sick of finding and losing again!

My thoughts are harsh, my tongue is sharp,
The sermons no longer light a spark;
I'm dangerously close to falling in,
To consorting with the likes of him.
I pray for guidance but to a wall,
Am I too far gone to love at all?
You're floating around but invisible to me,
I just want to be all that I can be!

Chorus

To love You more is my only goal,
So help me be strong and cleanse my soul;
I'll do whatever else it takes
To witness Your unchanging grace.
I only live to hear Your words,
Please bring me safely to the herd;
In fear no more I wish to sing,
I let go and forge on, while Hosannas ring!

Great lyrics, I have felt that way many times in my life. Feelings like that need a voice, I can see yours found one.

Thank you for the comments, paladin0260! It isn't very often I write a piece that I truly feel came from the Lord, and this is one of those rare pieces for me. I thank Him for His wonderful words! =)
