Lament


I praise you
As the low gets lower,
I praise you with words my heart doesn't understand, 
I thank you. 
I thank you for reasons I do not know. 
My tears are prayers that my mouth cannot speak, 
My heart longs for the day my life ends, 
When grief ends. 
When guilt ends. 
When sorrow ends. 
I am not suicidal, 
I crave peace, 
I crave Your presence. 
So please God make yourself known. 
I cling to You. 
I hope in You. 
Rescue me. 
 Don't forsake me, my God, 
Don't leave me behind, my Saviour. 
May my story become the proof of your merciful grace
And great kindness, 
I draw close to you. 
I'm learning to trust in you. 


And so even when my heart fails, may Yours beat for me.
