I hope you don’t mind me posting this here…
Wait With Me (song lyrics)
Wait with me the hour is near at hand
Don’t let me drink this bitter cup alone
Do not sleep but help me through the hours
Just wait a while and show me how you’ve grown
And yet I still can see the sunlight on the sand
The dusty roads we walked along the way
Leading us to lands of promise bright
Turning now to fields of grey
Night is come and fragrance fills the air
It’s mingled with the pungent scent of fear
Is this how it’s really meant to be?
Shiv’ring as the dawn grows ever near
And yet I still can hear the babbling of the crowd
Oh it doesn’t seem so very long ago
A fire so warm is crackling on the shore
Ashes now where embers brightly glowed
Pray with me beseech your Father now
To bring you not into the time of trial
And do not sleep but guard against the call
From heated bravery to cold denial
And yet I still can feel the seaspray in my hair
Oh I wish that I were sailing somewhere now
Faith that flickered on the flimsy wave
To drown before the last Cock crow
Stay with me I feel the evening chill
With every drop of sweat that from me flows
Suddenly the naked truth revealed
And anguish like a wound inside me grows
And yet I still can smell the palm leaves that were strewn
By the laughing faces in the giddy crowd
Threads of hope that glittered in the light
Severed now and fallen to the ground
Sleep you now and take you of some rest
The sound of voices carries on the breeze
Soon will come the kiss of destiny
That leads beyond the flowers and the trees
And yet I still can taste the bread upon the board
The heady mix of spices in the wine
Though this cup I’d rather lay aside
Not my will be done but thine.
