Standing in the Flood

O Lord, some days getting to you
is like walking through a monsoon flood.
I try with all my might, but cant get any closer.
All that is around me pushes back and interferes.

Lord, look on me; Father, I cry out to you.
Help your faltering child.
Your presence is the only safe place,
Your presence is my only protection.

Fill me with your strength to stand against the flood.
Fill me with your Spirit so our connection is strong.
Fill me with your sight to see beyond the present onslaught.
Fill me with joy so i may love life.
