even now your eyes are courting sleep 

i'll stay by your side as i have always been 

sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you 

beyond what i must do, do you know my plans for you? 

to separate myself from where my treasure lies 

then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life. 

be stripped away of all delusions of the man i'd like to be 

at the moment. 

i am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show 

no illusions left to hide behind. 

burning clean has been both agony and absolute release 

can i hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness? 

the hardest part of letting go, is trusting you with everything 

in laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am 

Father what is man that You are mindful of him 

can i pass this test? is my destiny this wilderness? 

to stand alone 

against a life of wretchedness. 

impossible to hope and so i plead 

Your graciousness show me your glory 

may my life reflect your presence 

and never again find myself in anything less.
