Keep Me Lord I Pray.

I cannot take the pain tonight
It hurts too much
It hurts too real.

I cannot raise my sword to fight
I have no strength
I only feel.

I am overwhelmed tonight
And all the world just turns and turns
I can never make it stop
While everything just burns and burns.

I am lost at sea tonight
And nothing ever gets quite through
And everything that I had held
Is now what's left and holding you.

I am not alone.

I wish the pain would stop tonight
I wish that it would go away
I am running out of fight
And I don't like to feel this way.

I don't see the end right now
But I know that it's there
And everything that isn't right
And everything that isn't fair--

I know that He will come again
Keep me Lord I pray.

i wonder what it is
that keeps you in such pain...

whatever it is, i pray it will loosen its grip on you and that you will fly free and taste freedom fully soon.

i dont know you, but i love you and my heart hurts for you.

I cannot wait till you make it back my friend. I miss you and I will continue to pray for you. The Lord really does have the whole world in His hands-- and yes, sometimes, it is perfectly normal to be afraid... but let us trust Him in our fear. The Lord is God; the Lord is one.
