I know you hear me
I feel your presence
I sense your power
And know you are real
Even still I feel lost
In the dark, I feel alone
Though many surround me
I feel deserted
Why, Lord, do I feel this?
Why am I not overjoyed?
The beauty of your world
overcomes me daily,
and still I feel empty.
Everywhere I see loss,
Time of joy seems to be followed
Only by a great time of sorrow.
Many would balk
to hear me say such things
I seem so happy and content
But I find myself unsatisfied.
With people speaking over my life
I feel vulnerable and weak
I want to believe I know your will
But sometimes I'm just not sure.
Help me, Lord,
to seek your face
Speak to me, Father
For I truly want to hear you.
I want to be the lamb
who knows your voice
and comes when you call.
I want your presence
to fill me with peace
I want to feel your arms
Surround me with love
