A Lament

A Lament Sometimes it is so hard to see the beauty in Your work; the joy of life, the twists and turns and each and every quirk. You gave us love and joy and hope and all we could attain. We wonder why You gave this life that causes so much pain. This master plan, this grand idea, escapes me on this day; forgive me Lord, I have to go, it hurts too much to pray. You took us in and sheltered us and showered us with love; Your grace and joy and peace and hope rained down from up above. They say that faith will somehow help me find a way to cope; they say these angry tears I shed will blossom into hope. I’m scared and lost, I’m without hope, please help me find my way; Please tell me, Lord, I need to know, why it hurts too much to pray. My mind knows that I need you now, a fact I won’t deny, But, when I try to think it through, my heart just asks You “why?” I’m sorry, Lord, for doubting You, I know You are the way; I just can’t seem to get the hope I need to start this day. If only I could, somehow, find a way to find Your way, Maybe with Your help it wouldn’t hurt too much to pray. Please help me find a way to bring my heartache back to You. You are my one salvation now, my hopes they seem so few. They tell me to have faith in You and leave my pain behind; This I would most surely do to gain some peace of mind. A quest for faith, so strong and fierce, consumes me on this day: Please hear me Lord, I need some faith, for this I…well, I pray. Please help me Lord, I need some faith, for this I…well, I pray.
