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...!

Sickness and Death

O Lord,
I know you are good.
I know you are loving.
I know you watch over us.
I know...

Hear my Prayer.
My heart is broken.
My mind is numb.
My body is in pain.

This path of sickness and death;
It is unfamiliar.
I don't want to be here.
I want off this path.

I submit to your mercy.
I sleep in your grace.
I will rest in your goodness.
I Will believe...
