I called You for
help, Lord
Knelt down along
the stony road
Lifted my arms to
Your throne
Poured out my
heart in my painful songs.
The cup of sorrow
harshly spilled
Seemed contrary to
Your promise
I beseeched before
You in grief
Finding no more
words to speak
My heart was
gradually crushed
Your answers I
seemed not to find
Thorns just kept
on leaching out
Chaining me in
airtight latch
I cried out, “Do
you still feel my heart beat?”
Lord, it longed
for your transcending peace
Trials were
gushing through me like sores
It seemed endless,
leaving me in groans.
But every time I thought
of these
I saw a picture of
your glimpse
I felt your weeps
along the breeze
As my faith dwindled
through the brink.
With the air I
breathe, in the shelter I rest
In my testimonies
of your greatness
I was reminded of
Your nearness
Lord, I have been
oblivious of your caress.
I feel sorry for
the pain I caused You
For my mistrust
and my implores
For denying the
cross You bore
That gave me a
home of precious stones.
In my weakness,
You even trust me.
Sending me to many
places to preach
Raising Your name
among the unreached
Whose lives are
still in breach.
Your grace for
me’s bigger than my sorrows
The priceless
salvation I now enjoy
Who am I whom You are
tender?
So, now Lord to You
I surrender.
Thank you Lord for
pursuing me.
Without You, how
wretched would I be?
Amazing is Your
love for me
Now, here I am,
use me.
