Cavernous valleys
Rolling thunder
Deserted solace
Emptiness overflowing
How is it so easy to consistently forget
Yet so difficult to consistently remember
That I do not walk alone
There is hope in this hopelessness
There is a redemptive guide
Who seeks to heal me
Just as he seeks to use me to heal others
Oh father, where art thou
In the midst of such struggle
Why do I forget you are there?
Even though I know it is you that carries me over the hot coals
That is how I feel the heat, yet do not suffer its punishment and wrath
Oh glorious father
Author of love
Take me now into your redemptive glory
Fill me afresh with life and spirit
Make me feel alive a new once more, for your glory
Let me sing to all the world
Of your amazing grace
Of how great though art
For it is well with my soul
Amen, Chris…..Sing out for the world to hear. David was broken when he cried out, and the world turns to his psalms for comfort. You bless others by your words and your own personal psalms…..I thank you for them. I, too, am struggling greatly today, and your words are a balm to my heart. Again, thank you.
Praying for you my friend
