Help me Lord I’m Drowning

Help me Lord I’m Drowning

Help me Lord I’m drowning,

In a sea  that’s  vast and wide,

Where the waves can be  relentless

And as certain as the tide!

I cannot show the pain within

No clues upon my face,

To show the woes and burdens

Of  my heart, a lonely place!

No time of day, no time of night

My racing thoughts do cease.

I can’t control my troubled  mind

I have no inner peace.

I laugh, I cry, I smile, I  sigh

Does anybody care?

I plead  with you upon my knees

O Lord please hear my prayer.

 I ask for love and   understanding

To you Lord I’m appealing

The God of the whole universe

I’m begging you for healing.

‘My child I Know you’re suffering

Your hurting hurts me too.

You cannot understand now

What I am doing in  you!’

But Lord this awful testing

It’s much too hard to bear

I look into the abyss

And blankly stand and stare.

‘Be still son please don’t  struggle

Just listen to my voice.

Your name is in my book of life

Fear not. Look up. Rejoice.’
