Reflections and Ponderings

Taste the Tears

I can taste my tears as they rain
slowly down
It seems the storm will never come
to an end
I cry out in my pain, sure that I
will drown
Hoping someone out there has a hand
to lend

Feeling that I'm running out
of time
How much longer will there be this
darkness?
It has been so long since I've seen the
sun shine
I'm afraid I will drown in this
mess

I come to your word hoping for
a cure
Of all this sadness that washes
over me
I read about a love that is
secure
It's hard to feel that I am loved, can
this be?

My tears are all counted and held in
a jar
You know the numbers of hairs on
my head
Your word tell me that you are
never far
Please pull me from this pit that is
my bed

You have a journey planned
for me
One that may have it's trials
and tears
But you have promised that never alone
will I be
You will be my comfort and take away
my fears

Help me to remain faithful
by your side
For your yoke is easy; the burden
is light
May my hope always in you
abide
Until my end of days and my soul
takes flight
