Last Night I Cried
We are not made of stone, but of flesh and blood and sometimes 'things' can hurt! And guess what...it's alright to cry. Ever cried at night? I have. Jesus put my tears in His bottle...and held me tight. Ps 56:8
From the bottom of my very soul
my heart broke last night
Still my stride today, somehow
is hopeful and light
~~~~
No one but You, Sweet Jesus
knows what You brought me through
How I clung to You and pleaded for remembrance
...that Your Precious Blood was for me too!
~~~~
This mountain is too rugged to climb...
I weepingly complained...I can't!
I want this cup removed I moaned...
Dear God....I'm spent!
~~~~
Then from the hallow of Your hands
from Your all encompassing Spirit and depth...
came Your miraculous peace
...I slept
~~~~
No one I meet can tell
not even those that know me well
Not even a hint of the battle forged is seen
For Thou has enabled me...upon You I lean
~~~~
You are with me...every step of the way
You are on my every side
No one knows that...
Last night...I cried
Ps 119:169-170, Ps 51:17, Ps 30:5
