Shipwreck

I built a fortress
With a hundred thousand faces
I'll keep it safe
With a hundred thousand more
But these masks are wearing thin
As You draw me in.
I spent my time
On the empty and the fleeting
I spent my life
On much less that what I'd dreamed.
But I'm reaching out to You
To make me new
Cause I am just a beggar here at Your door
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore
I come empty handed
Ready to see
Your life in me changing who I've been
To who I need to be.
You tell my story
As You sift between the pages
I feel redemption
In the space between each turn.
Could you take me in your arms
And tell it just once more?
Could You take me in your arms
And tell it just once more?

I did absolutely nothing, I think
I don't know what was wrong, but it didnt show up the first few times I tried to look at the post. Then I opened explorer and read it through there, refreshed again in AOL and there it was.
