voices are telling me to give up...
wondering if my life is just a game...
Am I just trying to blend in?
Or hoping that no one can see my pain?
Where do I belong?
I am always feeling like I am wrong.
Is my life just a repeating song?
Friends and family slippin' from my hand..
I feel as if I am on sinking sand ..
dreams, goals, wishes.. everything.gone.
I was standing upon God's rock
now what am I standing on?
memories becoming wounds.
reminiscent on the past.
how long will this last?
No one really needs me,
can't you see?
God, will you hear my plea?
Listen to my cries at night
I know I may not always be right
But please give me sight..
I am tired God, of being at rock bottom
I am tired God, of being hurt by
the repeating chorus of my history
My God, even though the world has
abandoned and forsaken me
I am sure you will not.
For you carried the cross,
You took three nails,
You took illnesses, burdens,
and the sin of the world
to give us mercy!
I am sure that you will keep your promises
that ain't no controversy.
You comfort me as I
walk through the driest deserts.
You have reasserted me
on this tough journey.
Even though the world might hate me,
I will keep praising thee.
