Sorrowful Gladness

What have you to say to me? About these things of woe Help me to understand my plight Comprehend, then let them go Such bittersweet moments arise Keeping me up at night Charming thoughts of my father Turns itself into awful fright My father was a gentle man Or so I thought most times Until I put pen to paper Spoke of dirty deeds mostly in rhymes Tonight I sit amongst the pews Trying to decipher the noise Music outside screaming your name Inside we stir, have lost all poise Remembering the days gone by Wanting to know what’s real Dear Savior, Father, keeper of me Turn up my emotions, let me feel Cry the tears to heal the heart Wipe away the bloodshed past Bring me to this place call home Home is where Your true love lasts I am weary and so tired Fraught with grief and dread Longing to know the gift of sleep Knock out sadness, oh, knock it dead Praise Your name, I try my best There’s no one else but You You are the reason that I can cope My God, My Savior, my one true hope Blessings to the Lord above Father, loving and true Thank you for my life today Jesus Christ, I do love You
