When I am giving up on me...

I was dying

I am dying within

I lost all meaning 

No use for existing...

To close my eyes

and rest my worn soul 

is all that calls...

I was dying

I am dying

My sorrows consuming 

So tired of wretchedness 

I rather lay in solitude 

in timeless slumber

where all my pain

will be forgotten...

I was dying 

I am dying

everyday I am...

Yet...amazingly

God is lifting me up

in my each falling...

when I am giving up on me

in each day...

Call on God

Call on God

In your deepest sorrow...

In all your misery...

When everything around you

are just sadness and pain...

and your heart could no longer bear...

Call on God!

Just call on God

in Jesus name...

In quietness and trust...

In quietness and trust...

In my sorrow and pain 

I cried to God for mercy...

I know my God knows 

how I grieve

My God knows how I feel...

He knows how I struggle 

to survive and believe

and submit 

to His purposes and will...

He knows it's never easy

But He made it happen 

to me...

In quietness and trust 

He gives my heart rest...

in His mercy and grace...
