Unfailing LOVE

~My prayer after reading Psalm 55~

Oh LORD, you come to my aid.
When I want to flee, it is You who sustains me.
The God of my life is my Refuge,
My Fortress from the evil that surrounds me.
Oh that I could abide in Your courts,
In the innermost place where You dwell,
For with You is peace and safety;
Joy complete is in Your presence.
But You make Your sun shine
On the wicked and the good.
Your presence is ever with me,
Even where I am.
You are near to those who call on you,
To all who call on You in truth.
You fulfill the desires of those who fear You;
You hear their cry and
You save them!
You watch over all who love You,
But You have no mercy on the wicked
Whom You have not saved.
Surely I am wicked, O LORD,
But You saved me from the pit I was in.
You called me out of the mud and mire
That I might glorify Your Name.
If I had been righteous
In my own eyes,
I could not have praised Your Name.
But You delivered me
When I was helpless;
Let me never forget Your goodness!

Let me never rise up above my knees
And disdain the Name of my Savior,
For You delivered me when I was sinking.
My sins were above my head;
I could not breathe.
But You gave life to the helpless
And Hope to the one who had none!
You delivered me and gave me breath.
You filled my lungs with goodness
And opened my mouth
So that I could praise you.

My place is lowly, for I cannot say,
"It was I who saved myself!"
No, but I owe everything to You!
I am humbled by Your Grace;
I am in awe of Your Mercy.
Such things are too wonderful for me.
My God, Your unfailing Love 
I will never understand.

We Can Cry Alone

Didn't know it would be this hard,

But we knew what we were getting into

Didn't realize I'd miss you so much

But we knew we had to try

Try something new to aim for something higher

Use the time we would have to turn our passions

To Someone greater

And it's going to be hard but... we can cry alone

We were always there for each other

And we still are, in a way

Could never be there in person

And now we won't be in speech..

But we are in heart and mind

And will always be connected by our Savior

We can cast our cares on him

And we can cry alone

Tears in silence, tears in secret

Are something almost special

Keeping our griefs from each other

So we are able to focus higher

But there is One who sees our tears

And will always be there to dry them

Invisible, He stands by our side

Even when we cry alone

And soon there will be no more tears

Secret or known, hidden or seen

We have a Hope that is beyond all sorrows

A Hope that covers everything

One day in glory, we will see His face

And all things of this life will seem so far away

And He will fold us in His arms 

And it will be as if we never cried alone

Revelation 21:4
