there were moments, times in my life when I couldn’t pray – all I felt was strife there were fears, tears, leftovers from grief so dark and lonely, I couldn’t get any relief there were sorrows beyond my understanding night’s shadows, desperations expanding there were wars within my spirit, fights forcing me to feel lost, without any rights there were storms that made me feel lost when I look back, I still see what it cost there were so many feelings I couldn’t express times when my heart’s hope was only a guess there were thoughts that fed my insecurities desperation that left me with life’s impurities there were relationships, oh, I’ve loved so much wouldn’t it be beautiful to feel a gentle touch? there were sensitivities that taught me to doubt when it comes to feelings I often just want out there were rains, tempests who were so garish despite it all though – this love would never perish amid the battles, amongst the cries – the salty tears there came a voice stilling my worries and fears it was love that reminded me - He’s always near whatever I might face, His love is completely sincere when I don’t know what to do and the pain is deep I look to my Savior, knowing that my soul He will keep
