When The Humble Cry – Psalm 10:17
And when the humble cry
Shedding tears in darker times
One will hear
One will make Himself known
And then the humble will find
Their comfort in the dark
For the Lord will hold them
The Lord will show them love
Psalm 10:17
For Darker Days – Psalm 86:5-7
For darker days
May come and go
Tears and shadows
Will pass on by
For every moment
Seen by Your eyes
And every prayer
Will reach You there
And the greatest of love
Will descend on us
To help us through
All that comes out way
For truly You are
The forgiving Lord
Of abundant love
For all of this
We praise You so
Psalm 86:5-7
Trial By Fire – Revelation 2:10
If it be a trial by fire
Or a prison of walls closing in
I am made stronger
I am made bigger
Than the task that I face
By my faith in the Lord
By my belief in Him
I shall rise above
Anything that comes against
Revelation 2:10
How Far – Psalm 139:1-3
How far away could I get?
Where You couldn’t search this heart
Is there a place?
I could ever go
Where you couldn’t see through this soul
You know my all, my everything
My comings, my goings
My victories, my failings
When I’m happy, when I’m down
All thoughts and all my feelings
You know them all
Wherever my failings take me
There is still no place I could go
For there You will always find me
Rescue me from whichever pit
And wherever it is I find myself
You will always bring me home
Psalm 139:1-3
Of Morning And Night – Psalm 92:2
Waking to a new day
Another sunrise to behold19
If the sun is rising
Then there is hope within the day
With this hope I proclaim
Your love in the morning light
And as I make it through
Yet another day
I gives thanks
For Your faithfulness
At the coming of the night
Psalm 92:2
The Pit – Lamentations 3:55-57
When the time came
When I could fall no more
The depths found
The bottom reached
I called out
In tears and anguished screams
There in that moment
You answered my call
And the pieces came together
The stepping stones in place
For me to make my way
To the place You said was home
And there I found it all
All I could ever need
To break the chains of addiction
And leave that pit forever
Lamentations 3:55-57
In This World – John 15:19
Times I fell this world has rejected me
Through me out for I have no worth
I struggle to just be part of it
I find myself just struggling on my own
But maybe I’m not meant to be
To this world I don’t belong
For He tells me I have a place in His kingdom
There I will ever have a home
And of this I should remember
To this truth I should hold on
Then through my time upon this world
I will find I will never be alone
John 15:19
Inner Battles – Psalm 86:11-12
When the dust settles
Of another inner battle
When the ruins are surveyed
Of the devastation I have made
There I will be found
Once more upon my knees
Calling out to the Lord
Oh Lord, my fortress and protector
With You I’ve made it through again
Through another needless war
That I’ve waged upon myself
And I’m asking of You Lord
That I receive a heart undivided
That stops the wars within
And the inner battles I fight
Psalm 86:11-12
In Forgotten Times – Psalm 18:2
In forgotten times
And broken moments
When the wall close in
And the air hard to breathe
As the tears flow
And fear and despair rise
I remember this
It ‘s all I have
The Lord my rock
My fortress and deliverer
In Him I am strong
With Him I prevail
Psalm 18:2
Idols? – 1 Corinthians 8:7
There are those to look up to
And those to respect
Those I should follow
But not treat as an idol
Only One has that role
Only One stand above all
To Him I give my all
To Him I give my praise
1 Corinthians 8:7
