Running With Eyes Closed
Words & music by Matthew Devine and Fr. Tim Devine, CC

She came to me with a lot on her mind
We could talk of the weather but not this time
Something heavy was weighing on her heart; it was written on her face
So I quickly said a prayer 'Cause I didn't know what to say

Lord help me understand
Only You know what we need
Lord give me the words to say
I will follow You, so take the lead…

I was sobered by what she said when she walked through the door.
She thought she should end the life that she was not ready for.
We've been friends for so long now she can't hide
All the pain that she must feel inside.
I said "Don't lose faith in God's love for you
We'll pray the truth will see us through."

Lord help me understand
Only You know what we need
Lord give me the words to say
I will follow You, so take the lead
For without You, I'm running with eyes closed
I'm running with eyes closed

Without You, without You, without You (I'm running with eyes closed)
Without You, without You (I'm running with eyes closed)

It scares me to think of what we do when we don't place our trust in You
When I see the one who's alive today I want to give thanks and say...

You help me understand
Only You know what we need
You give me the words to say
I will follow You...
Lord help me understand
Only You know what we need
Lord give me the words to say
I will follow You, so take the lead
For without You, I'm running with eyes closed
I'm running with eyes closed
