Whenever...

Whenever my heart

starts to feel the mist of my pains 

and my whole being begins

to tremble again...

when my mind remembers

how things had been...

Lord to you I call...

In Jesus name...

In the midst of pain...

It is in the midst of overwhelming pain

when you are totally  lost in control

of things...

when you learn to humble and kneel...

when you truly call and seek God...

is when you will come to understand

that in everything 

in trusting God

is when you will find 

peace and rest... 

in the midst of pain...

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...

I've never learned...

When will my weeping ends?...

When will my heart

completely learn...

to face and accept realities...

How will I ever forget

the memories and the pain?...

Though all days and nights 

to God in tears I come pleading

to help me free myself 

from all my chains...

But  until now

I've never learned...

Call... in Jesus Name...

When you are reminded 

of your pain...

Call...

In Jesus name...

like a dying candle...

Like a dying candle

waiting for the last

tiny blow of wind 

then it's gone...

I pray my hopelessness 

sadness and pain

shall be blown away 

with the wind...

I Submit to your will...

Lord... 

What's next?

In this pain, after this pain

what is there for me?

Though my eyes

are swollen in tears

and my heart is weeping

I submit to your will Oh God...

I submit to your will...

Lord, I Submit to your will...

From your pain...

From your pain

Get Up!

No matter how you feel...

No matter how heavy...

No matter how draining...

For even then

It's Gods amazing grace 

that will lead 

your frail self 

to move and to will...

to rise up and believe ...

Gods love and mercy

will do this...

wherever you're left out...

Loneliness will eat you out...

Sadness will drain your strength...

The thoughts of every detail of your pain

exhausts your sanity...

and no reason would ever fit ...

In all the void ... 

when there's nothing to hold

and believe ...

Look on God ...  

trust in what He is doing...

for He is moving...

and working things out for good

out from wherever you're left out..

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...

       Inhopelessness

Look up ...

Through all the frustrations

rejections and betrayal...

Through all the unfairnes of things...

With the many why's...

With all the heaviness...

Look up ...

know and remember 

that behind the clouds

is the never fading blue skies...

Be comforted 

with the universe's declaration 

that God is ever behind 

all the clouds and storms 

in our lives... 

In Hopelessness

In Hopelessness

When things around are dim 

and you are losing yourself...

When hope is not available 

though you grope for hope...

When pain and sadness 

are overwhelming 

and your eyes and heart 

are sore in crying...

for everything have turned 

to nothing...

When days and nights are passing

and you are stuck in your own shell...

for todays and morrows 

have lost their meaning

and you wish to not wake up again

to another morning...

Turn your eyes upon Jesus...

Focus your eyes on God...

He made life and the universe 

what then can He not do...?

He knows all that you've been through 

All the days He is with you...

He sees you through 

with His mercy and grace 

sustaining you...

Believe and trust 

God is leading your way

His will and purposes 

are always the best and good

from your hopelessness 

guiding you all the way...
