This psalm was written after the LORD healed me of a broken heart. The pain
of divorce is real and can be devastating and I am sure that is one of the many
reasons that God hates it.
Please Lord Let Me Die
My intense quest began after suffering a divorce
and my kids now grown were gone from my home,
and looking at my once family-filled home and
seeing and knowing that I was so all alone.
Oh yes, I had known the Lord for several years
but, this was more than I thought I could bare,
even though friends and relatives were close around
and for me they did really care.
I had remained active at church through this time
and sang in the choir and was still being used of the Lord,
praying for others and seeing them be helped
seemed all the more to sting my heart down to the core.
Coming home from work I’d fall on the floor almost daily
pleading, “Oh, God, please let me die”!
crying so many tears day after day till no more tears
would flow from my now swollen eyes.
And then, one day it happened but I can’t tell you when or how
yet He did let me die but it was to myself,
and I felt a light go through my being
that healed a broken heart as that is how it felt!
And now living for Jesus is what it has all be about
His life I want to share,
to tell as many broken hearts oh yes,
I know how much for them the Lord Jesus does care.
