Nobody Knows

Nobody knows about the times I got wasted Sleepless nights, I'd look death in the face in the silence Nobody knows about the shadow of grief hanging In the closet it suffocates me when I least expect it And I'm all alone But You say I know everything about you I formed you in your mother's womb You're created in my image And there is nothing you could do To erase all my love Please believe that this is true You're not out of my reach Nobody knows all the lies that I've told Trying desperately to make myself holy It makes no sense Nobody knows all the words that I've said When I'm in the throes, my anger burns red And I lose control When my tongue is afire But You say I know everything about you All the bad and all the good Watch me labor in your garden To grow a harvest that endures Let me do this in you It won't happen overnight But I'll be with you, my child Your love is overwhelming It drenches every part of me Here's my total surrender I throw away the lock and key God have Your way within me You're worth the price I have to pay And I can't wait to see You on that day When You say I know everything about you See, your lamp was still ablaze Now your voyage has concluded And we're standing face to face So enter into my joy You will never want again You are home with me
