Her eyes are closed But shes not asleep <br />Her eyes are closed God's answers she seeks. <br />She opens her eyes But still she is pained <br />She opens her eyes Good Lord to the shame. <br /> <br />Sometimes falling away She don't know what to do <br />Sometimes falling away The Lord pulls her through. <br />Back in the world To a familar state <br />Back in the world To the old ways she hates. <br /> <br />Knows shes your child She has washed her soul <br />Knows shes your child Once made her whole. <br />Under the water Accepting your love... <br />Under the water Blessings rain from above. <br /> <br />Offers prayer to the Lord, the lord takes her hand <br />Offers prayer to the Lord, by her side he will stand. <br />Her troubled ways No longer in view... <br />Her troubled ways she will no longer pursue. <br /> <br />Know it's not easy but the Lord will provide. <br />Know it's not easy Sometimes tears in her eyes... <br />Her eyes are closed, but she is fully aware! <br />Her eyes are closed.Gods word she will share.<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter Stanley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sometimes-falling-away/
