lament IV

Will You be there, my God of ages?
Will I see You rise above my storm?
Will You be there?
Why cannot the past be erased,
Or memories quicken into nothingness?
For I am as nothing.
No matter what I do,
Why must evil prevail
And good deeds be shunned in the eyes of others?
I need You Lord.
Seek not after me with Your wrath
But find me in my pilgramage
To say "all is well My good and faithful servant".

Please oh God, send my nature of sin
to the darkest pits of Hell;
But do not let them pull me down with them.
Forget me not as You forget my sins.
As far as the east is from the west,
So spread Your arms to take me in
And consume with Love.

Call me out of my despair
And lead me on to victory
Through the work of the cross
And the power of the empty tomb.
Oh Lord, when You call,
Will I be there?
My God, when You lead
Will I follow?
Rescue me Father, for my sins are holding me.
Restore my Spirit and bring me peace.
Amen.
