Tonight
How do I give up
What I’ve held onto for so long?
How do I trust
When everything seems so wrong?
I’m crying out to You, Jesus
Why can’t I hear Your reply?
You seem so far away, is it all a lie?
I want to feel Your touch, Your love
Will You overcome me tonight
Tonight
How can my heart
Hold together still while it’s so broken?
How can I know
The lies from the truth?
Where are you?
I need you tonight, tonight
I’m crying out to You, Jesus
Why can’t I hear your reply?
You seem so far away, is it all a lie?
I want to feel Your touch, Your love
Will You guide me tonight?
Tonight
I want to love, want to love You
I want to know, know the truth
I can’t see Your face
I can’t feel Your embrace
I see the shadows on the wall
As I’m walking down the hall
I hear so many voices in my ear
Which one do You want me to hear?
I call out, scream Your name
But every day stays the same
I need you tonight, tonight
I’m crying out to You, Jesus
Why can’t I hear your reply?
You seem so far away, is it all a lie?
I want to feel Your touch, Your love
Will You help me tonight?
Tonight
Behind these walls, I’m where no one knows
I can’t get out, I’m enclosed
I call for help but no one hears
All around me are my greatest fears
My vision is blocked by my tears
I try to leave but the walls are stone
I try to find You but then
My heart tells me I’m all alone
I need You tonight, tonight
I’m crying out to You, Jesus
Why can’t I hear your reply?
You seem so far away, is it all a lie?
I want to feel Your touch, Your love
Will You protect me tonight?
Tonight
I hear You calling out to me
I look around, try to see
If somehow You are near
But I don’t see You here
The walls begin to shake
The grounds begin to quake
I hear You calling, crying
You say it’s going to be all right
All right
I’m crying out to You, Jesus
Why can’t I hear your reply?
You seem so far away, is it all a lie?
I want to feel Your touch, Your love
Will You find me tonight?
Tonight
The walls start to crumble down
In my brokenness, I fall to the ground
I feel insecure and exposed
But if You will come…
You’re breaking through
And I can see more of You
The walls are gone, You’ve exposed the truth
Only You can save me
You saved me
I’m thanking You, Jesus
For coming into my life
You’re closer to me, Jesus
You’ve broken through all the lies
I can feel Your touch, Your love
You saved me tonight
Tonight, tonight
