when words fail, You prevail

You are real

You are real
i bank my life
now and eternally
on the realities of You
You hold me up
You hold me up

what would I be
if You didn’t see
my tears?
how could i stand
were it not for Your hand?
where would my head lie?
in the dust

o my Lord,
i know
You are real
You feel what I feel
Your touch heals so much
Your face lends such grace
Your arms fend for me

when words fail
You prevail
You lift me up
You lift me
closer to You
lest i sigh alone

engulfed in Your presence
i am free to be
frail
fragile
fumbling
in safety

You are real
faithful Comfort for the one who is
Your own
