I Cry To You Lord

I don't know how to get up Lord 
I am on the floor
Father God I can't get up 
The air within me has left my chest  
Father God I don't know how to get up 
Lord,  my god why am I on the floor, why have you allowed  my enemies to push me down 
I am defeated! 
Lord my God what have I done? 
Why have you turned your back on your child
I have no strength within my soul to lift myself up 
Lord my God my heart is broken my soul is crushed,  I don't know how to pick myself up 
Lord, I need not see tomorrow... I don't have the will to live
Father, I am broken and defeated,  I have no will to live
I have nothing Lord... Why Lord have you taken everything from me 
Lord my God what have I done? why have you forgotten me? 
My pillow is stained with tears... My heart is broken... I don't have the will to live... Lord my God why have you forgotten me? 
Father, I look to you for my rise,  I can't stand on my own
Take my hands, Lord... Strength my feet... Help me to rise from this defeat 
Lord, I pray for my rise... I put my broken tattered soul in your hands Lord
Lord my God repair my broken pieces, send your angels to guide me
Lord, I pray for my rise

:D Great write. God has mended the broken pieces. He's even soften the harden hearts as well as heals the broken heart. Be still, Be continually blessed. God will do the rest James
