drown out my pain for I don’t want to feel it anymore

cause it makes me feel like I have nothing to live for

bury my tears for this world is not big enough to catch them all

only you are big enough to catch them so with you I let them fall

the agony stings my heart like a honey bee stings over and over again

and I sit and wonder if this pain I feel will ever come to an end

cause in the darkness I keep trying to find your light

and in the shadows I try to feel you hold me tight



but how can I call you God

how can I call you my savior

how can I call you Lord

how can I say you’re my father

and how can I worship

how can I praise

how can I love you

every single day

when there is this pain inside

and I drown in the tears I’ve cried

so won’t you take my breath away

like a sunset in the sky



so many times I came to worship your name

but now I come to you and it’s just not the same

and so many times I have praised you with all I am and more

but now here I am scrunched up in a ball crying on the floor

it just hurts so much that I don’t know what to do or say

I have never felt such pain before; I’ve never been this way

so won’t you take away this abyss black hole of emptiness

and fill it instead with the comfort of your presence



so that I can call you God

and I can say you’re my savior

so that I can call you Lord

and I can say your my father

so that I can worship

and I can praise

so that I can love you

every single day

God, please take my breath away



freeze away my doubt

turn me inside out

cause I am not myself

God, I need your help

please come and save my soul

cause although I love you I am not whole

please come before breathing becomes meaningless

come show me that with you I am truly blessed



cause you are my God

and you are my savior

you are my Lord

and you are my father

and I will worship

and I will praise

and I will love you

every single day

I will lift you high

cause like a sunset in the sky

you have taken my breath away

I am sure we all feel this way for some reason beyond us only He knows that drives us to do stuff to make it stop or get past it or through it and this poems seems to do it...Pam
