So many thoughts fill my head at night.
As I lie in a quiet place.
The busyness of the day dies down, but my mind won’t rest.
I close my eyes and pray, but interruptions are soon to come.
Thinking of this, thinking of that, visuals that I don’t want.
A voice I know doesn’t belong within me, reminds me of so many things.
The strongholds that fill my life stir up inside me like fresh wounds from a battle.
I’m fighting – I am.
I’m fighting to win.
Yet that voice speaks again and again and again.
I cry out to Jesus to take my thoughts captive – suddenly they’re gone.
But just as fast as one thought leaves, another one comes.
Images I don’t want, yet they’re so clear in my mind.
Please leave me alone, please go away.
Lord, Jesus, please renew my mind.
I don’t ask for them, but they come anyway.
The worst of them at the end of the day.
Night is here, the dark has set.
I’m not scared, just lonely, wanting to forget.
They are lies, there’s no truth to words that voice speaks.
I will wake up tomorrow with the thoughts of my dreams.
But there’s another voice I hear, this one is true.
He’s given me a new day, a renewed mind, another chance to be pure.
Tomorrow brings light, a safe place for me.
Night will fall again and my thoughts will repeat.
Each day His strength grows through all of my weakness.
One day I’ll sleep with no thoughts that haunt me.
I wake up and say “Good things are to come.”
I believe, I see, I know His will be done.
