Will You Let Me

Place my head upon your shoulder
Wrap me in Your warm embrace
Chase away these premonitions 
Grant me, Jesus, saving grace

Will you let me feel your presence?
Bring the peace of heaven near
I am fainting from my sorrows
Whisper to my heart, "You're dear!"

Will you cradle me so gently?
Sooth my tempset batterd soul
Hush those inner howling voices
Love me, heal me, make me whole

Still my thoughts from frantic chasing
Ease my every aching part
Let your tears fall on me freely
Wash me as you mend my heart

Let me rest here for this moment,
Comfort me with love songs now
Tell me once again You're faithful
Good will triumph still somehow

Jesus, Savior, Lord, and Refuge
See the war that rages still
Stop the carnage, please, I beg You
Hate seeps in against my will

Will you help me to surrender
Trusting that all will be well
Will you promise to protect me
From this world that feels like hell 

Jesus, Prince of Peace, remember
We are waiting anxiously
COME, Lord Jesus, come and save us
Come and claim Your victory!

Dear Eileen, What a cry of reverence and so vulnerable, aching, and courageous. Felt much like a prayer reaching out. The raw honesty where you've given voice to the weight of sorrow and the fragile hope that still dares to speak. May it echo in heaven like incense and bring peace, even if just for today. With love and quiet awe, Summer Blessings, My Dear Eileen, Daniel

Thank you for your lovely comment, dear. As for AI, I only recently discovered that you can create music using it. I know... I'm behind the times. I don't know how. But thank you for the visit. :)
