The One Answer

My heart feels so heavy immersed in such woefulness,

If I sigh, if I hurt, if I deny,

Would it fix these trials of tribulation?

If I try, if I curse, if I cry,

Would it fix these trials of tribulation?

 

My heart has betrayed me, for it bleeds in throbbing pain,

As much as I try, As much as I weep, As much as I cry,

I must find strength deep in this heart to keep life.

As much as I scream, As much as I exhaust, As much as I dream,

I must find strength deep in this heart to keep life.

 

My heart knows the truth, with full assurance that You are the answer,

The Healer to this pain, The Healer to his hurt, The Answer to this rough terrain.

I seek your Light, for I cannot deny that You are my only true path.

The Good song to my distress, The Good song to sweep away sorrow, The Melody I cannot suppress.

I seek your Light, for I cannot deny that You are my only true path.

 

I know not of what lies ahead, but I sing praise to You my King.

I give up doubt, I give up the worries, I praise and shout,

You have rescued me from this abandon well time and time again,

I see that You are the answer, I know You are my God, I taste that You are my flavor,

You have rescued me from this abandon well time and time again,

 

My heart is a magnet towards You, it is filled with joy when You are near.

If I sigh, hurt, or deny; I must pray and worship the most High,

These trials of tribulation are nothing, for I am a child of the King.

If I try, curse, or cry; I must keep You close for your love will not run dry,

These trials of tribulation are nothing, for I am a child of the King.

Groundless Mind

A mist of confusion and loss has rolled in,
Resembling defiant clouds that will not part.
Lord, I ask for understanding that comes from Your heart.
Let me not hear Satan's whispers of lies and guilt of my sin.

Forgive me, to come out and say,
This mind seems to run in chaos and nonsense each hour.
I plead for peace and clarity, these demons desire to devour.
I cannot continue to walk this path, darkened by the gray.

I see so many walking opposite, away from You.
Let me not be them, I know You are the way.
Guide my path, I truly desire to walk with You each day.
But this mind with voices so loud, takes me off Your path that is true.

I ask for purity in this mind, clarity clearer than water.
I ask for calm in all the chaos, to see through all the blur.
I ask for understanding, to hear Your voice and no voice other.
I know. I do know. Even when a dark fog would like to smother,
You will always be the answer and path, my One and only Savior.
