Words & music: michael w. smith and brent bourgeois
My life is like a racing car hurtling towards the wall
At the speed of sound
My time has been so finely tuned
But Ive never seen a human being so tightly wound
At times it seems beyond belief
I just need a bit of relief
Like a war-weary soldier
Marching up and over the edge
Take my hand and pull me up cause Im falling too fast
Somehow Ive lost my way - Im cryin save me
Chorus
Can you hear me...Im calling out
Im crying out...a cry for love
I can feel you...youre touching me
You healing me...my cry for love
I will be the first to admit
I dont have the strength to handle it alone anymore
I dont have to fret, dont have to explain
All my worryings in vain
Im not alone anymore
Why is this so hard to believe
What is mine is mine to freely receive
Like the changing of seasons
This is the beauty of the word
And for all that I have seen and heard
Oh I want to come home
Somehow Ill make my way - my way home to you
Chorus
Bridge:
Oh father hear my call (oh father hear my call)
I know youll catch me when I fall
Oh father hear my call
I know youll catch me when I fall
Oh I pray that youll hold me now
Hold me
And take my fear away
Im cryin save me
Oh I know that you can hear me
Hear me crying out for love
Oh I know that you can feel my cry for love...ooh...
I can feel you - youre calling out
Youre crying out - a cry for love
I can feel you - youre touching me
Youre healing me - my cry for love
