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.

In Brief On Hurt

Sometimes hurts are buried so deep that we can't get to them directly without ripping ourselves apart. Sometimes we have to unpack one thing at a time, as it were. Sometimes we have to approach the healing process slowly. But of course, we have to approach it. Time heals nothing. Healing may take time, but you cannot just wait around and get better. There may be a great pain buried deep down inside, but it doesn't have to come out all at once.
