Take Me Away!

At the beach to forget my troubles...

Tears abound...

Will You take me away?

A little blond same age as Claire,

Tears my heart open...

Oh, take me away.

The hurt, the sadness, the pain,

The despair, darkens this day...

Can You take me away?

Walking by faith-it's not what I see,

It's not what I hold-It's not what it seems...

Please take me away.

Can I keep going step after step,

With empty arms but no regrets?

Hurry, take me away.

In this place I don't belong,

Please give me a song,

And take me away.

Not knowing what the future holds,

He carries me through,

He lights my way.

With head held high,

Smile on my face,

Giving the gospel,

Seizing the day.

A new perspective now I find,

He gives me strength,

Renews my mind.

The hope He gives comes from above,

With His gentle care, concern and love.

Here I am with a grateful heart,

KNOWING ONE DAY

YOU'LL TAKE ME AWAY!
