Lord Jesus, I am here again and crying to be heard.
I do not understand this mess; my life is so absurd.
Each day you guide my friends to follow you a different way.
And I must move with care so that my feet don’t go astray,
But…
I’ll hide beneath your shelter when the storm becomes too great.
I’ll sit within your warm embrace and let the sorrow wait.
I’ll close my eyes and shut out all the cold and bitter wind.
You save me from insanity and give me peace within.
The hour is late; the craziness of everything just grows,
But your love holds me steady in the middle of my foes.
The mornings bring me back again to where I was before.
Though I wake up and can’t go on, you help me to the door,
So,…
I’ll hide beneath your shelter when the storm becomes too great.
I’ll sit within your warm embrace and let the sorrow wait.
I’ll close my eyes and shut out all the cold and bitter wind.
You save me from insanity and give me peace within.
Dear Father, I cannot escape the world in which I live,
But my heart feels so battered I don’t know what’s left to give.
The things around me clamor for my energy and time.
My soul is tired and weary; I am losing strength to climb,
But…
I’ll hide beneath your shelter when the storm becomes too great.
I’ll sit within your warm embrace and let the sorrow wait.
I’ll close my eyes and shut out all the cold and bitter wind.
You save me from insanity and give me peace within.
