Noonday Devil - Fernando Ortega

I know there’s hope in anger

And tenderness in shame

Sometimes I find you

On the other side of pain

But sometimes in the heat of day

When I close my eyes to pray

It seems like you are far from me

My prayers are all in vain

In my hour of hopelessness

In my deep despair

The noonday devil whispers in my ear

I know that you are with me

But I can’t feel a thing

The noonday devil

Has come around again

Oh Lord, make me angry

Oh Lord, make me cry

Oh Lord, please don’t leave me here

To fall into the devil’s lies

Father, you have called me

To live a life that’s true

That all my labors and my words

Would speak my love for you

But walking through this desert

Life is empty and mundane

The noonday devil

Has come around again

Oh Lord, make me angry

Oh Lord, make me cry

Oh Lord, please don’t leave me here

To fall into the devil’s lies

Oh Lord, make me angry

Oh Lord, make me cry

Oh Lord, break my cold, cold heart

So I can know your love inside

Your love inside
