Save me now

10.31.11

Take me to the place that I once knew.
The faraway land where darkness was distant and tears never left thy eye. 

Lord, I am broken and fallen into this pit of despair. O where have you gone? I long for the touch of comfort but all I see is the resolution of failure.

The sting of death sounds sweet in this wickedness called life.
I’ve longed many years for the acceptance of this world but now there is nothing.
I know the promise of deliverance but in my cognizance it is so distant.  

Lord, pick me up and encircle me in your arms. I cry out to thee for my sins to be washed.
I am wrong time and time again. The burden is heavy and I’ve nowhere to go.
Save me from the darkest moments. Save me from myself, from the evil concealed within.
Give me strength and joy during sorrow. 

Your grace is enough, and flows like that of the rushing river.
The death of Your Son is the gift that I will never run from. His blood is beautiful and washes me clean. Your perfect love is undivided and absolute.
