My Shepherd

Overwhelming emotion Pain, frustration, anger  Confusion and disappointment  Building up Then spilling over  Lost and abandoned  Left alone and broken Too much to handle For a moment longer  And finally I realize Suddenly I can see I've been looking, searching In the wrong place entirely  I close my eyes And silently beg I need your help Your strength  To carry me for now While I am weary  As I grow faint All along I should Have put my trust in you So now I give it freely And with open arms embrace The one who's always there To take away my pain The peace that comes  Almost instantly Brings tears of joy and relief  I feel a love So strong and pure I know I'm safe at last He takes me in Comforts my heart And puts my mind to rest  I know now I can stand I feel new strength And peace With this new hope I'll carry on Knowing He is with me
