Impassioned Plea

Problems insurmountable
Walls of sand unclimable
Sinking deeper
Just let me breathe
 
Where is the rock I stand on
From where is my peace drawn
Come Father I need to believe
 
Wrongs be made right
Give me the will to fight
Your strength Lord is all that I need
 
I know what my faith is made of
I know of your undying love
Give me something my pain to relieve
 
My cries to you unending
So much time I’m spending
And still now my spirit grieves

Send your tender mercies
Don’t let evil hurt me
Great Jehovah please intercede

This reads like a personal prayer, a plea to God for assistance. It is wonderfully penned as it speaks directly and with clarity. Michael
