Back & forth, up & down
Like a ship, tossed by a stormy sea.
My mind races & searches for a happy place.
Yet every island of joy is marred by the images in my head.
I seek a peace to this storm
but the waves keep raging.
"Help!" I cry. "I need Your help, Lord."
"Aren't You the One who calms the storm?"
Run, run, run. My mind is running from itself.
I'm my biggest enemy right now.
My mind betrays me,
But it can't help it. It's scared.
Lord, please pick me up & hold me tight.
Like a little baby in Your arms.
My eyes grow weary & they want to close.
May I lay my head on Your shoulder & rest awhile.
I'm so tired yet my eyes are afraid to close.
What lies in the dark is unknown, yet feared.
Lack of faith in You, Lord? I pray not.
For my faith in You is all I got.
Hold my hand & help me rest.
Give me strength to sleep.
This night is long, but part of the journey.
Tomorrow is a new day & joy will come in the morning.
