It's been a long year
Like a long sleepless night
Jacob wrestled the angel
But I'm too tired to fight

Every Wednesday
For two years we've met
I've showed you all my anger,
My doubts and bitterness

There was no judgment in your eyes
Just the silent peace of God
That felt so real in you

Will you hold the light for me'

And I stay up late
Because I cannot sleep
I don't want to face the quiet
Where it's just God and me

I'm waiting for the gavel
Handing me the sentence down
Because I don't believe forgiveness
Or even repentance now

I want to feel redemption
Flowing through my veins
I want to see with clear eyes
Beyond lust and hate
I want the war to be over
And know the good guys won
And I want love to hold me
To know I'm not alone

Standing around a willow weeping
We were praying in the backyard
In the chill of the night
The friendship light reminded me who we are
