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
