No emotion displayed in his face as he silently read the screen.
Why do I go through this? Why must the barrier be there at all times? Why is my faith lacking?
Questions raced through his mind, not finding an answer. The tears wouldn't come, the feeling from within wouldn't arise. He silently prayed a prayer, seeking guidance for the situation, but nothing came which might have. How much longer will this barrier persist? When his faith is restored properly. The words appeared as his fingers typed them out. The dull presence left him not, although hope lingered. He paused, opened a program, and turned on a song near the bottom of the list. It played while he silently sat, listening with bowed head and clasped hands. The lyrics continued: "I owe my life to you my Lord, here I am," he mouthed the words to the song. The barrier silently started to crumble from within. The lingering of hope shone brighter.
When I think I'm going under,
Part the waters Lord.
When I feel the waves around me,
Calm the sea.
When I cry for help,
O hear me Lord,
And hold out your hand.
And touch my life,
Still the raging storm in me.
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
I need Thee, O I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee.
I need Thee every hour
In joy or in pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is in vain.
I need Thee, O I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee.
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee.
When I think I'm going under,
Part the waters, Lord.
~ Part the Waters / I Need Thee Every Hour by Selah

Those are beautiful lyrics, Ashton...
I need Him, too...so much.
Good post...I can relate. ;)
For anonymous; if you haven't read the book the movie should be okay, it was bad to me because I have read the book, so when certain parts came up that didn't stick to the book, it was agonizing, but enough of that. Film wise, it had the feel of a low budget film in the sense that some of the lines were said to fast, almost as if they were being rushed, visual effects were medium, but the camera angles were awful, my brother said that the costumes weren't to well designed, other than that, it wasn't as bad as some movies I have seen, and probably would have been better if I hadn't read the book, so I would recommend it to anybody who has not read the Eragon book, but if you had save you money and rent it, but that is just my opinion.
