Rough road

 

Of my life, a road full of thorns.

On I must walk with my spirit beaten and worn.

I am tired, Lord; Please lend me a hand

before all is in pieces – sad, broken, and torn.

 

Close my eyes with reality hard to take.

Dream a dream of what happiness makes.

I am weary, Lord; Please give me strength

to hold back damages before my whole world would break.

 

Search my heart, trying to find what’s mine.

See my loved ones’ faces as I start to cry.

I am hurt, Lord; Please grant me comfort.

Shine a healing light as my hopes start to die.

 

Face my fear looking for a path

in the struggles of all the aftermaths.

I am scared, Lord; Please suffice my courage

as I am but one and I can’t handle your wrath.

 

Wipe my tears looking on in desperation.

Try to find the pieces mixed in complication.

I am confused, Lord; Please bless me with wisdom

so I gain the knowledge of my own condemnation.

 

Open my soul, praying for some grace.

Looking above searching the empty space.

I am on my knees, Lord; Please send me help

I am longing to when you and I embrace.
