His Power

I petitioned God in prayer With angry words ... I cried out He bowed down His ear to me Then, in one single touch He sent me Falling prostrate on the floor He reached down from on high And took hold of me He drew me out of the deep waters Waters in which I was drowning From my own tears they grew With One mighty finger He penetrated deep within my chest And melted my hardened heart As I lay depleted before Him He raised me up Seeing the darkness that had encompassed me Humbly and shaken I sat at His feet For He saw my fearfulness He felt my anguish My tears He wiped away with tenderness My sobs were felt in His heart His voice was heard in my spirit Together we were bound in oneness As His arms enveloped me and His peace fell abundantly upon me He is my hiding place He will protect me from trouble And surround me with songs of deliverance His power is made perfect in my weakness His grace is sufficient for me
