Cross

I know it's late

I didn't know where else to go

You know you can always come here

Begin

These are my sins, but where to begin?

I don't know if I have it in me, in me

Go on

Still I recall the peace that would fall

When I believed that You could forgive me

I don't know where to start

Yes, I do

It's a start and a finish

God, it's the root of everything

I'm here to listen, here to understand you

Tell me what lies in your heart

And in the telling, you'll find the peace you're seeking

You'll know the way once you start

I've tried to be strong, I've tried to belong

But I don't, or I won't, I can't, I can't

Such a simple little word, never spoken, always heard

It's not something I can be

It's not okay, not for me

Do you know what I'm—

Yes

What do I do?

I know you're frightened, know I understand that

But there's only so much I would say

I can't live for you, but know that God is with you

Through Him, you will find a way

Can I please see your face?

I'm in such a desperate place

What do I do now?

Tell me, tell me! (Child, if I only could)

I don't belong

I've always thought this was wrong

If they knew, my parents would die

They would die!

So keep it quiet

I will hold your secret

You know that it's safe to confide

You're just a child and things can change, I promise

You're young, you have time on your side

Focus on your graduation

Is it ok?

Keep your mind on other matters

Am I ok? Please, answer me!

Pray for courage, pray for—

Why are you dancing? (You know what I'll say)

Why won't you answer? (You know what I'll say)

Why won't you tell me?

God!

No!

You know in your heart that the teaching is clear

Faith in the Father has led your soul here

Bear up the cross, let the Church be your spine

Don't question too much

And you'll get along fine

Whatever you have done

I know God will forgive

Live in His Word

He will always forgive

Go now, in the Spirit and live
