Heart breaks, prayers rise,
Naked soul before You stands,
Pain strangles, thoughts race,
God, can you see me?
An answer comes softly,
But I cannot hear.
Overwhelmed, broken life
Stripped of all I thought I had.
Fractured pieces turned to dust,
God, all of me is blowing away.
The heat of His hand passes me,
But I cannot feel.
Drowned by waves, scorched by sun,
Falling, falling, prone before You.
Bone weary, life ebbs away,
God, reclaim this wasted vessel.
I look for Him in the dark,
But I cannot see.
Screaming now, sobbing I shout,
I'm empty, I'm broken, I'm spent.
The last wave pulls me under,
God....God....God...are You there?
All is quiet, the end is black,
And I am gone.
But it is not the end.
A gleam, a mist, a rumble,
Tender shoots rise up strong.
Soft glow, rays of hope,
God, He hears, He sees, He feels.
Softly at first, then just a little more,
And power is rising.
Arms encircle, comfort whispers,
Warm breath blows into me,
Eyes flicker open, lungs fill deep,
God..it can only be You.
Life stirs inside me,
And I begin to feel.
Words carry me like water:
Wait on Me, strength will renew.
Give me your cares, I care for you.
God, are You speaking to me?
His voice drips over me like honey
And I begin to hear.
Thunder claps, mountains roar
I remember He is on His throne.
He passes near and shields my eyes,
God, be my Protector.
I'm breathless in His glory.
And suddenly I know.
Psalm 13
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider, and answer me, O Lord my God,
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
Lest my enemy say "I have prevailed over him,"
Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
But I have trusted in Your steadfast love,
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
Now...some of my favorite songs about God's providence:
