~A New Song~

Why does it leave me?
A blink of Your eye,
An hour of my time,
Your presence has left me.

How does this happen?
My mouth forms those words-
Have they lost their meaning?
No. I fear they have left my heart.

I will not lie to You, my Lord!
I long for new words
Filled with life, honesty, and truth
To bless Your ears.

I praise You only!
