I'm stuck here in this hour glass,
Time is standing still.
Emotions and desires, the sands of time will heal.
Broken, bruised, abandoned,
Yet I seek to do Gods will.
I miss them every moment, each breath exhausting pain!
I'm desperate for the moment I can hold them in my arms again.
The sand runs through this hourglass,
I'm helpless to erase,
Betrayal, lies, and hatred fill so much of my empty space.
Forgive them Lord, completely, Lord, they know not what they do;
I try so hard my father, to think and act just like you.
How much longer will I be here, in this cold and lonely place?
I've lost count of the tears I've cried, that stream down my sad face.
You keep them in your bottle, Lord, I imagine what they're for.
My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are neither nor.
I cannot grasp the depths of love that lift me up to walk on stormy seas.
You rescue me from darkness, I carry sin no more. Your yoke is easy, your burden is light, and each day, you carry me.
I'm tired, restless, and impatient, Lord, I trust you all my days.
I wish that I could understand these dark and weary ways! My heart is broke in pieces, I've never felt so whole. Each day your love surrounds me, and brings comfort to my soul.
I feel so desperate, so alone, I cannot stand my breath. I long to feel the sting of death, that robs it from my chest.
Like Job, I curse my day of birth, each day has been so hard! I bless your name, I lift you high, my memories are blurred!
I want to hold my children Lord, I long for their embrace! I'll wait for you, each breath, O Lord, as tears fall down my face.
