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
What a blessing you are to other people. I will continue to pray for you. I have a lot going on right now and your words lift me up.
