My Lament

In the darkness of my valley
Where were you?
In the sorrow of my soul
Where were you?
In the unheard cries of my heart
Where were you?
In the despair and struggle for comprehension
Where were you?

I cried to you with all that I had
I hoped in the one I knew could save
I banked on the arm not too short to save
But where were you?
Where did you go?

The demons torment me
Yet rescue did not come
Darkness engulfed me
Yet your light did not shine
Where are you?
My heart cries out
Where are you?
My soul weeps within me

You have always been faithful and true
Promises you never broke
Always providing always caring
Never failing your love endures
But where were you?
When I needed you the most
Where were you?

I dont understand this storm I am in
I dont understand my hope put to shame
I dont understand how your promises could be fulfilled
I dont understand
I dont understand

I grasp for comfort
Search for love
Yearn for acceptance
Long for understanding
A listening ear that wont turn away
A comforting shoulder to cry on

Alone
Alone
Alone

Anger meets me at every turn
Expectations I cannot meet
I am tired
I am weary
I am alone
Neglected I mourn
Where are you?

I still search for you
Mend my broken heart
Bring comfort to my downcast soul
Strength to my weak body
Hope to my hopeless eyes

Oh my soul, weary within me
Cast your cares upon the one you cannot see
Though you feel abandoned and alone
Know He is always there
His arms wrapped around you
Though comprehension may slip from your grasp
Know His promises will ring true
He is the giver of good gifts
His heart you can trust

I struggle
I fight
Help me trust in you
Help praise to rise from my lips
Joy to flow from my heart
Eliminate the fear of abandonment
Help me trust in you
May my lips declare your goodness
My life pronounce the glory of your name

You are the lifter of my head
The hope amidst hopelessness
My great and glorious Savior
Always good
Always present

I look to you
Your light finally shining through
I look to you
Your promises you will fulfill
Hope. You will answer
I look to you
May my lips declare your goodness
My life pronounce the glory of your name
I trust in you

Save Me! Help Me! Pick Me!

I can barely breathe Tears roll down my cheeks Unanswered questions Unmet expectations Dashed hopes All leave me senseless Words you spoke haunt me Save me! The darkness is closing in Save me! The fire is burning Save me! I am drowning Drowning in sorrow My strength is drained My resolve is weak My voice is mute Help me! As I face the giant before me Help me! As I struggle to stand Help me! To know that I am not alone I am not alone I cannot do this on my own A rag doll slumped in the corner Pick me up Hold me tight Protect me in your arms Want me  Fill me with joy Pick me! Out of all the toys in the store Pick me! Breathe life into me! I will dance  I will sing for you Call me by name Make me yours Forever You have bought me with a price I am yours I am yours You have picked me!

My Cry

Dear Lord, Help me When the pain is crushing And the tears threaten to spill  When rage and jealousy consumes me Quiet me with your love Do not allow hatred to destroy me And take residence in my heart Help me to see beyond my pain To what you are doing Give me your eyes to see my circumstances The fire that is refining me Though painful, will make me pure Though i feel as if i cannot go on When waves of doubt and fear threaten to drown me Help me to know that you will not leave me in my weakness That in my weakness you are my strength I am not alone Your hand is ready to grasp mine Your strong arm is not too short to save You are carrying me through this storm Help me to be secure in your love for me Secure in my identity in you Help me to love those who crush me To show kindness and compassion To those who plot my downfall Help me to walk in your light Allow me to experience your love To know without a doubt Your a...

I Look to You

When grief is a drowning ocean I look to you When my world is in turmoil I look to you When my shattered heart refuses to beat I look to you When pain is my constant companion I look to you When sorrow is my food I look to you When tears freely fall I look to you When anguish threatens to tear apart I look to you When the future is bleak I look to you When happiness and joy have lost their way I look to you When peace is an elusive memory I look to you When fear and uncertainty whisper I look to you When memories start fading I look to you When the strength to get out of bed has vanished I look to you When regrets torment me  I look to you When the longing swells within I look to you When hopelessness abounds I look to you I look to you My rock and my salvation My fortress and refuge My ever present help in times of trouble The rock I cling to The hope that will not fail I look to you I trust in you
