Dear Lord I Am Hurting Right Now
This one thing I am
most certain,
Lately I’ve been really hurtin’.
I trying to do right, but it
turns out “wrong”
I don’t really know where I belong.
So many in church just
pass me by.
I sometimes get an
occasional “Hi!”
I don’t think my message is
getting across,
I feel so confused and
completely lost.
A message of “help” is my
desperate plea,
For someone to reach out to me.
Please remember me when
to church you go,
May God’s love and compassion
flow in your soul.
Spending time with hurting people
is time well spent.
It was for you and me that
Jesus was sent!
