Waking Up With Company

Waking Up With Company
--A Call to Repentance...
Forgive yourself and take that hand offered to you

You woke up this morning with regret
It really is hard to get back
After a fall
But then you know that staying where you are
Is not any better
And for some reason
You can't anyway
So how to get back?
What steps do you take
When you can't even see the path
You feel too blinded to see
Too seared to care
And hungry...we won't even start
It's hard to get back
After a fall
Life seems to go on
Without you, with you
Over you
Everywhere seems dangerous
Everyone seems like an arrow
Aimed at the back of your head
So cautious you reach out
Ready to pull back
But even there
You can't find your way
Nothing is as it seems anymore
So you sit there waiting
And waiting for someone
To come along and tell you
It's hard to get back
After a fall
But he'll help you along the way
He'll pull off that blindfold
Teach your eyes to see the light again
And hold onto you when you let go
So you wait for this person
Not realizing you're waiting
Hungry, blind, lost and alone
Your conscious is seared
You heart is hard
And the life that you once knew
Is gone
It's hard to get back
After a fall
But then there's a light
And the blindfold comes off
And you look up but cringe at brightness
He tells you his name
He holds out his hand
He lifts you up
And you cry
So long, so long
Has the wait for him been
But now he is here
And he's holding on to you
He leans down and whispers
The air tickles your ear
"It's hard to get back
After a fall
But I'm here for you now"
And you get up out of bed
Open the blinds
Blink at the light
Smile at the world
And take the hand of your Savior
Because it's only hard to get back
After a fall
If you are doing it
All alone.
