My heart is heavy.

My heart is heavy.
Like lead in my chest.
Everywhere I look is pain.
I can't find any rest.

I'm scared for my children.
I don't know what to do.
This world is so evil.
Please Lord, we desperately need you!

Too long I've hid in my room.
Pretending all was well.
The world is fine...
I wouldn't acknowledge how far it had fell.

Lord open my eyes.
I need to see.
See the truth of this place.
And why I need to look to your face.

I hurt because you hurt.
These people you have created,
We cause you so much pain.
But...you love us inspite of our shame.

God...daddy...please hold us close.
A portion of your grace
To get us through this night.
And give us the strength if you need us to fight.

Yes, I'm scared...but you defend me.
Yes, I'm selfish.. but you love through me.
Yes, I'm weak...but you strengthen me.
Through you I want to see!

Let me be unashamed.
A light used by you.
A candle pointing to your son.
For this beautiful race I will run.

For someday soon,
I'm going to see the King.
On a day unknown.
I will see Him on His throne.

This will be a beautiful day.
A day of rejoicing.
No tears to be shed.
For no longer shall my torment of sin be fed.

Strengthen me oh Lord til then.
Sing to my soul sweet words of calm.
Holy Spirit guide me.
All in Jesus name I plead.

Amen.

♡The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

Psalm 28:7 (niv)
