The Abode of Comfort

There’s a bump in the road and I need Your abode There’s a bump in the road and I want Your abode Here’s a helping hand if you need to unload your load There’s God’s right hand if you ever need to tread His road Let me show you your land of lovely liberty as it draws near Let discouragement disappear like a night’s nightmare You and I will be brave and embrace cheer Soon enough, you will be set free from here Hey, don’t worry… Please don’t fret... Try to be happy… With no regret… I whisper words of comfort to you Do you recall the things we used to do? You remind me of someone I used to know Sorry I caused you pain and made you low You need not mention the past and the mistakes made along with it I didn’t mean to hold on to unhappiness If we can both smile for a while, I’d be so delighted I must admit In God’s timing, He will discard our distress Sorry for the actions I’ve made so heartlessly Sorry for the distractions I set my mind to these days Sorry for preserving this heart of worthless vanity Sorry that I’ve disappointed you so in so many ways I believe The reason we get hurt By past circumstances is because We can become stronger as we move forward We aren’t able to mend all wounds in a heartbeat – that’s God’s job! I blame it on the heat of the moment I blame it on the times I spent recklessly I blame it on the depths of my despair I blame it on my messed-up melody Let anxiety and distress go Hold on to what matters You should know Happiness is priceless Be rich in joy and poor in envy Grieve no more and shake off the tension and dread please But, there are moments when I get so insecure But, then…God somehow finds me a cure I shouldn’t doubt, I shouldn’t fear anymore for sure Millions of hardships I’ve come to endure I will be able to hold up the shameless shield of mere triumph I wish to replace fear with cheer I wish I could have faith God draws near I wish for Your comfort, for I have a need for it I wish for Your comfort, for I have a want for it I see my reflection in this mirror of lies I hear my silent cries as time flies Sorry for the actions I thoughtlessly made out of impulse Being the way I am was due to stubborn pride At least I’m being honest, Father Not a perfect person, But I try… I need Your comfort… Ah, yes I need it! I need Your comfort… I want it – I admit! I blame it on the heat of the moment For carelessly saying words I don’t mean to say I have to climb inside His tranquil tent And seek His extraordinary Word every night and day There’s a bump in the road and I need Your abode There’s a bump in the road and I want Your abode There’s a bump in the road and I need somewhere to rest my weary head I have yet to gain insight and strength from Your splendid haven, so that I won’t feel numb with dread Forever, You make me feel like I belong Even when life feels a little off or wrong You understand my human nature disease all too well You’re healing me and in darkness, I no longer dwell Still, I’m guilty for letting you down all along by my rebellious tendencies Pardon my downfalls and let me forgive myself just like You have to me Sometimes, I feel like an empty notebook when I don’t rely on You at ease Self-control and patience is a lifelong lesson I have come to believe, You see? Your abode gives me solaced sanctuary in times of tribulation Lord, make me feel whole as I whisper meditative supplication I’m lost without Your confident humility engulfed in my Spirit I’m a confused coward without Your bravery and selfless wit I need to wash away the many thoughts in mind that make me drift away I need Your benevolence to give me an immaculate frame of mind I need Your abode of comfort to reinforce goodwill without any dismay Leave behind the regrets that serve as obstacles that aren’t so kind
