"CRY IN A BOTTLE"

Verse 1
I caught my head turning
The other day.
I knew there's something I was
Supposed to say,
But my tongue was wooden
And my lips were dry,
I tried to speak
But all I did was cry,
The tears are still falling, yeah, they're falling on me,
And all I want right now is someone to see…Yeah
The tears are fallen on me ---

Verse 2
A hundred times a day
I fight that fear,
That fear that
I don't want to hear.
But it's got me by the heart
And it doesn't let go;
And the more I struggle,
The more I know
That I'm fighting all the elements and it's no use,
'Cause I've tried all my own answers-they've got no truth.

Chorus 1
For love, for Heaven, for sleeping at night,
I've gotta know the answer.
For hope, for sanity, for strength to fight,
Oh, Jesus, please give me the answer.

-- two times

Verse 3
So here's my message in a bottle,
Here's my cry,
Here's my resignation to
The fight of life,
'Cause I've given all my giving
And I've bottomed out,
And I've tried out my own living,
And I've got no doubt
That there's just one Answer, just one Way,
And I'm not gonna let it slip by one more day.

Repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 2
'Cause You're love, You're Heaven, and You'll make it all right.
Living for You is the answer.
You'll give me hope and a reason to fight.
Just yielding to You is the answer.

Repeat Chorus 2 [spoken]

Lead: --- eight times
