Anyone else ever feel this way?

I need your gentleness now

I crave your tender moments 

Assuring me somehow

Amidst this torment 

The kind that comes with hope deferred 

When everything goes wrong I forget your words


Like job caught wondering why

It’s no surprise 

Maybe a test I fail every time 


How do I give you this fear

When it’s you and my imperfections

How do I trust for all I ask- is it mere

Cause and reactions 


I need your perfection 


Will I ever be able to have confidence in your love 

Or always be too guilty in my sin 

How can I ever do enough 


When your face is turned my confidence is lost in all I am

I need you now

To hold my hand


How can I ever do any good 

I feel prevented 

When I think I’ve understood 


I’m always reminded that my righteousness is but rags

Then wonder how to dare to hope for all I ask 


Tossed by my need 

It’s great

Highs and lows as hope fades


All I really want is your purpose 

To walk in your tender ways

Make you proud

Know your face


To endure with moments of joy

Confidence of your grace

To be joined

With others in this place

In a world of isolation

To have your union

It sounds like a sad song with hope of blessings to come.

Beautiful!

Sounds a lot like what King David was going through in Psalm 13.

God bless
