Weary and Weeping


My eyes and my heart are heavy
I am tired and weary
I receive visions of joy
I remember seasons of celebration
My chest aches 
My heart cries out “Maranatha!”
I look up to the top of this mountain
So many steps I still need to take
For the glory of the Lord, I will rise
I am weary but I lean not on my own strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength

Where are my allies? 
I can easily see my enemies
Have I been forsaken? 
Surely, I am not alone
My God has gone before me
The advocate stands behind me
I am surrounded
Not by the enemies I see 
But by the allies that I cannot see

God, my heart still aches
My soul still feels lonely
How long will I be isolated?
How long will I be separated from you and my loved ones?
Yahweh, you have promised me restoration 
I praise you as I await the day that you will restore all things
I sing as I weep and wait

God, I've Messed Up

Lord, I know I could never be perfect. I know I could not earn my salvation. I am saved by your grace and mercy alone. Forgive me, O Lord.

You love me despite my mistakes. You have forgiven me. You died for me. You love me, so that I might love you. Lord, my heart is yours.
