Rescue Me

I look out the window

The sun is shining brightly

But there is a darkness within

That keeps me

from relishing in the warmth

*

The joy is gone

I’m just trudging along

Going through the motion

Of life

*

I’m lying in bed

Listening to the birds singing

Such an uplifting sound

But there is a heaviness

Weighing me down

*

The wonder is gone

I’ve no care in the world

Its been smothered away

By pain and regret

*

Tears are running down my face

I want to run from it all

But there is no place on earth

Where I feel safe

*

Lord, rescue me!

Wrap your loving arms

Around me

Take me to a hiding place

Where I can be made whole again

In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears. – Psalm 18:6
