Confession

Tonight: even the street lights look beautiful

Through these my pouring tears but

Thoughts of losing all of my close family

The straw that broke this camel’s back

Those fears that undid me: those worries

Yes: those worries that I should give back

If I should give my worries up in prayers?

The good Lord promises to take them up

To accept the burden in my stead

Ah…these crazy thoughts within my head!

I surrender all to Thee my Lord!

I give up my load of worries, of stress!

That thou might take them from me

That my burden may be less!

It is in these darkest times

That I would truly confess

Dear Lord I want to come to you

I want to lay my head upon your breast

I want to hear your beating heart

Within your mighty loving chest

I want: need your tenderness

I need to use your strength dear Lord

I need you to refill this: my empty cup

Yes; my dearest Lord: my Saviour: my King

This is when I need the fulfillment

Only loving and trusting you can bring!

This is when I crave that contentment

That fills up my greatest need

For as I feel my strength waning…

As I feel this earthly power ebb…

Then I need your God-given refreshment

This blessed love you promise me!

For I am truly feeling empty

Sincerely I do admit: I confess!

I am in great need of your unearthly power

Your love; your understanding: your tenderness!
