When the lights go out and inspiration comes

Last week Pastor Brad, here at the Dream Center, challenged everyone to let it all out to God this week.
I came home that night, shut off my lights except my orange lamp, and locked my doors. Then I say in my room for 5-6 hours and wrote a song.
I cried out to God and I told Him exactly how I felt.
Afterwards, I videotaped it (so  wouldn't forget the tune haha) and I just figured out how to record stuff on Garage band!



Anyways--- Here are the lyrics. You can actually hear the song on www.myspace.com/ShannonGalford

I have been trying for awhile
to tell you
That I have been so foolish for awhile
I am trying, I swear that I'm trying but
My attempts feel so small
I want you, I swear that I want you but
I don't believe my words at all

Cause I'm lost, and I don't feel found all the time
Cause I'm lost, and I don't feel found all the time

I don't know what to say sometimes when you ask,
"Where have you been?"
 I don't know what to say sometimes when you say,
"Come home my child..."

Cause I'm lost and I don't feel found all the time
Cause I'm lost and I don't feel found all the time

I am trying, I swear that I'm trying But
my attempts feel so small...
Why do they feel so small?

(music break)

But you say, you already found me
You want me to come home
But you say, you already found me
There's no need to be alone
I was lost, but you found me
You took me from my shame
I was lost, but you found me
You called me by my name
You called me by my name

I dont know what to say sometimes 
but you, you love me
I dont know what to say sometimes 
but you, you called me home
You called me home
You called me home
