Noonday Devil

I know there’s hope in anger
And tenderness in shame
Sometimes I find you
On the other side of pain
But sometimes in the heat of day
When I close my eyes to pray
It seems like you are far from me
My prayers are all in vain
In my hour of hopelessness
In my deep despair
The noonday devil whispers in my ear
I know that you are with me
But I can’t feel a thing
The noonday devil
Has come around again
Oh Lord, make me angry
Oh Lord, make me cry
Oh Lord, please don’t leave me here
To fall into the devil’s lies
Father, you have called me
To live a life that’s true
That all my labors and my words
Would speak my love for you
But walking through this desert
Life is empty and mundane
The noonday devil
Has come around again
Oh Lord, make me angry
Oh Lord, make me cry
Oh Lord, please don’t leave me here
To fall into the devil’s lies
Oh Lord, make me angry
Oh Lord, make me cry
Oh Lord, break my cold, cold heart
So I can know your love inside
Your love inside
