Take Me Away – From Myself
I wanted to come up with something deep and moving to say besides just quoting the lyrics to this song – but my emotions are a jumbled mess when it pertains to how much these words mean to me. A friend of mine, Josh Miles, wrote this song, titled “Take Me Away:”
O my love, take me away
from this place
to the warmth of your embrace
don’t leave me the same
O my Lord, take me from here
make pride disappear
it’s held on for all these years
Lord break the chains
O my soul, rise up and wake
it’s a new day
the old has passed away
and I won’t be the same (no I won’t)
You would think by now I would know
that things will come and things will go
but you will never leave
You would think that I would know by now
to not ask the why’s when where’s or how’s
but just simply to believe
you have freed me from the tyranny within
and I long for the chance to start again
So take these notions of self-destruction
and them away
or take me away from them
and leave me to be here with you
Lord I don’t care how you do it
just take me away from here
Basically, it comes down to this for me: I pray to the Lord to be taken away from the weariness; however I can’t help but wonder if my outlook and attitude are huge contributors to said weariness. That being said, God, take me away – from myself.
P.S.: For anyone interested, Josh’s AMAZING EP can be found and purchased on iTunes here:
