"Hanging by a Thread..."

As I was waking up to one of my favorite Cd's this morning, this song really stuck out... It kind of describes the way I feel sometimes.
  • Hanging by a Thread
  • Wayne Kirkpatrick and Gordon Kennedy
There's a kind of emptiness that can fill you.
There's a kind of hunger that can eat you up.
There's a cold and darker side of the moonlight.
An' there's a lonely side of love.
  • With you here, Jesus, I am strong; no sign of weakness.
  • With you gone, Jesus, I am hanging by a thread.
There's a certain kind of pain that can numb you.
There's a type of freedom that can tie you down.
Sometimes the unexplained can define you,
And sometimes silence is the only sound.
  • With you here, Jesus, I am strong; outside of weakness.
  • With you gone I am hanging by a thread.

How true! Don't think I've actually heard the song, but the lyrics strike me as well...

The thing to remember is Jesus doesn't ever leave us hanging. We need to keep our eyes on him instead of the waves! :) Thanks for sharing this one.
