Hear My Words

Oh Lord,
How do I cope,
My heart is broken,
I am crushed,
I am bruised and battered,
despair is my constant companion.
How do I stand the pain.
How can I cope?

Your word is true,
Your faithfulness is unending,
Your love is always near
I know these things are true.
I have spoken them,
I have encouraged others in the truth.

Now, I stand in their place.
No words console.
No encouragement soothes.
My emotions are raw and ravaged
Food and sleep are another world.
The end is near.
How can I cope?

Oh, Lord,
Look on my plight
View me with pity
See me in this place.

Now, here my Words,
Not my emotions.
I......Trust.....You...!

Completely Me

All the things I thought so important in my life,
The toys, the tools, the trophies made to rust,
I trusted in these things to make my life complete,
But I'm completely me in you alone.

I thought that other people could make me feel complete,
The accolades, the smiles and the handshakes,
It just all left me empty and then I realized,
I'm completely me in you alone.

I thought it was my wife, my job, my kids for sure,
My car, my house, or maybe the TV,
But nothing satisfied, and then I realized
I'm completely me in you alone.

I'm completely me in you alone.
I'm completely my in you alone
You alone can make me whole,
You alone can fill my soul,
I'm completely me in you alone.
