Flood: The Turn Around

Broken
How do the pieces come together?
Hurt
How does the pain go away?
Through all the struggles
Lord
Please teach me to pray

I feel weight
Burdened
Along this Christian road
Troubles pulling me down
As I walk
I try to be firm
My heart gets heavy
My entire body almost touches the ground

I cry for help
Determined to make it
Required to patient
Waiting on Him
Trusting in Him
This I must do
On the verge of falling
Must continue
Even if I resort to crawling

Seems as if I’m designed to break
Not created to breakthrough
Laying down in the dirt and grime
Tired
Clueless
What should I do?

My eyes closed
Talk to my Master
Tell Him exactly how I feel
Reminded of His Word
I feel comforted

Now drifting
Now soaring
My body was in the dirt
My heart is in the sky
Lighter than a feather
I cry
Rivers of joy flood my eyes
As I recognize
The Creator of the skies
The Creator of me
Isaiah 40: 28-31 reminded me

He has control over my life
Why do I worry?
He has given me peace
Why do I get confused?

He has given me a beautiful gift
Total freedom
Through His Son
No circumstance can compare
I leave them all to Him
I want them no more
I trade beauty for ashes
Love and strength for fear
I trade my flesh for life in Him
Total freedom from sin

I’m up again
Now I run like the wind
Diving deeper in Him
Doing things His way
I can never do this on my own
I am bound to fall
But I know His hand will guide me
Through it all
