A Lament

 









A Lament

I feel the ripping emotions in my heart
Seismic earthquake way off the chart
This traumatic devastation effects my roots
Its a massive shock and so acute

My thoughts and screams hit a ceiling
How is God feeling
God sees all around
He sees the pain, torment and the sounds

We cannot be silent and allow
What is happening right now
We must wake up and take a stand
Weep, cry and pray for this land

Lives have been snuffed out
All will be held to account
May evil be removed forevermore
May righteousness and justice open the new door


The Psalmist David cried out in pain
We should follow his footsteps again and again
He cried in anguish to the Lord
Let us cry out to Him now

Drowning in deep water brought on fear Now anxious thoughts appear I can't break free from these chains  Fear ambushes me again and again Trapped by strong emotions in my mind I'm tied up and walking along blind Fear causes me to be frozen in time Paralysed and fear sticks like grime I cannot break free from this cycle of fear I'm helpless to make it disappear its very real and part of my life Like being cut deeply with a knife I adapt and try to survive But this fear is buried alive It pops up in unexpected ways Hijacks thoughts and effects my days What can I do to escape this state I cannot leave it to fate Who can I turn to, to set me free I cannot see a solution in me The Psalmist writings of old Lays out the message of pure gold Cry for help to The Lord it says He will deliver you from all your fears  The Father above knows all things His perfect peace He will bring The fear will disperse and disappear  You will be set free and be clear Life will be open and be bright

Journeying Together

  Journeying together Walking along together let us see What will happen to you and me Choose to go beyond superficial chatter Open up to what really matters Open up with a friend It can bring a richer blend Trust is at the heart of this trail Let go the thought you may fail Its easy to stick with the status quo But why not learn to go deeper and grow This happens as we share our heart with a friend As they question, encourage and challenge Encourage and provoke with love Don't be timid but give a gentle shove Help them to go beyond the comfort zone Into a new place that is unknown  This unknown place, you may need to  go To Encourage your friend to go steady and slow Our Father above will help them discover He will protect them and provide cover Iron sharpens iron a hebrew quote Meaning love, encourage and provoke Deep connection is better than money True friendship is sweeter than honey
