Find Me In This Cave

Verse 1:
You said do not be anxious
And I’m trying not to be
But my body’s in a panic
And I’m struggling to breathe

My heart is beating faster
The worry’s getting loud
And I’m lost here in this darkness
Just praying to be found

Chorus 1:
Come find me in this darkness
Come find me in this cave
Come silence all the voices
Please take this thorn away                         
I know you’ll never leave me
I know the sun will rise
But I’m lost here in the darkness
Just looking for your light

Verse 2:

You said it’s in my weakness
Your power is displayed
And when Jacob wrestled with you
He was blessed, as he limped away

Oh how I cling to grace now                          
Oh how I know my need
And I’m trusting you won’t waste it
You will somehow use this thing

Still I’m praying for the morning 
And I’m begging for some peace
Oh Jesus come and find me
Oh Spirit groan for me

Chorus 2:
Come find me in the darkness
Come find me in this cave
Come silence all the voices
Please take this thorn away                         
I know you’ll never leave me
I know the sun will rise
But I’m lost here in the darkness
Still praying for your light

Verse 3:                              

Yes, I’m praying for my healing
But I want your presence more
So let this song be my surrender
To what You would have in store

I know a day is coming
When I will see your face
And you’ll wrap me in your light
And you’ll wipe these tears away
And you’ll tell me you were with me
You were right here in this cave
Still working in my darkness
No, you never went away                                      
You are with me in the darkness
You are with me in this cave
