[Verse 1]
The sun sets slow on this lonesome town,
But the weight I carry just pulls me down.
The hills don't echo, these prayers of mine,
I’m looking for something, some kind of sign.
[Verse 2]
A Bible sits on my nightstand shelf,
But I’m too scared to look at myself.
The silence surrounds, it cuts so deep,
A soul wide awake while the world’s asleep.
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, hear my cry, I’m stumbling, crawling,
In the shadows of the night, I've been falling.
Take my hands, lift me higher, set me free,
Guide this lost man on the road to Thee.
[Verse 3]
There’s a bridge up yonder, a tempting end,
But something whispers, “Son, don’t you bend.”
It’s the smallest voice, but it won’t let go,
A flicker of light through the heavy woe.
[Verse 4]
Mama used to sing in the church down the lane,
About a Savior who knows all your pain.
I hear her voice, though she’s long been gone,
Singing me strength to keep pressing on.
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, hear my cry, I’m stumbling, crawling,
In the shadows of the night, I've been falling.
Take my hands, lift me higher, set me free,
Guide this lost man on the road to Thee.
