Memories in a Sea of Forgetfulness

close my eyes

not to remember

every crime or time I fell

into the open arms of temptation

driving the nails

how does your love remain so faithful

to the unfaithful

where do you hide the tears

you should be crying when

i've fallen again and

where do you hide the tears

that fell in the day i turned you away

you throw them away...

the sea of forgetfulness

draw my heart

out of the darkness

where i was hiding from your face

into the open arms of forgiveness

offering grace

into a place where there's no memory

left to press against me

where do you hide the tears

you should be crying when

i've fallen again and

where do you hide the tears

that fell in the day i turned you away

you throw them away...

the sea of forgetfulness

stumble or fall

you cover them all

nothing to hold you

let them go

love takes me in

and covers with in

to welcome the child you know i am

where do you hide the tears

you should be crying when

i've fallen again and

where do you hide the tears

that fell in the day i turned you away

you throw them away...

the sea of forgetfulness
