Paper Thin

Take these words and sing them for me

They fill up all these pages I have been writing in

But lately they are becoming

So paper thin So paper thin

These pages turn; They're full of empty words

I tear them out just to start it again

And still I lie awake at night

Unsure of what is to come

I am coming undone

Give me the melody that my heart longs to sing

Now I am starting to see

That this fire you stir inside

Is greater than I know

All this time

I tried to sing a song

That my ears had never heard

With words I could not speak.

You are the one

That gives me words

That shine a light into darkness

And gives strength to the hopeless

My words mean nothing

Unless they come from You

Who sang the stars into place

And whispered life into my soul.
