even now your eyes are courting sleep 
i'll stay by your side as i have always been 
sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you 
beyond what i must do, do you know my plans for you? 
to separate myself from where my treasure lies 
then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life. 
be stripped away of all delusions of the man i'd like to be 
at the moment. 
i am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show 
no illusions left to hide behind. 
burning clean has been both agony and absolute release 
can i hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness? 
the hardest part of letting go, is trusting you with everything 
in laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am 
Father what is man that You are mindful of him 
can i pass this test? is my destiny this wilderness? 
to stand alone 
against a life of wretchedness. 
impossible to hope and so i plead 
Your graciousness show me your glory 
may my life reflect your presence 
and never again find myself in anything less.
