Questions in my mind

Does the loneliness ever get easier to bear?

How do people get through their days?

Without their God to assist them?

Without that hope that He portrays?

They must be miserable indeed!

Without His blessing: without His seeds?

All these words: running through their heads

The unbearable cacophony: the noise!

If there is no place to run to?

No blessed sanctuary: any blessed release?

For me it is the seaside

For me it is the crashing waves!

There I head whenever life dismays!

Ah…the absurdity of it all, Lord

The sadness of so many endless days

So, come Lord! Shine your light into my darkness!

Come light up these darkened skies

I try to look at all these things that

Are bothering me: try to laugh

To ease the unbearable emptiness

It lifts my mood a little: the sadness is: less!

So, if sharing a problem halves it?

Why not ask for that necessary aid?

That simple solution in these crazy days!

So dear Lord: I ask: help me!

So dear lord: I knock: open the door!

So dear Lord: I seek: help me to find!

That blessed peace I desperately long for

I will not give in to sadness!

I will not fall beneath the waves

For Satan seeks to claim me but

My Saviour leads my steps!

So as I look out into the darkness

As I listen to the waves calling unto me

Here I find the peace I seek

Yes: here beside the turbulent seas

I know that Jesus is right beside me!

Even as I speak!
