Only You, God

Sometimes we go through extremely difficult and heartbreaking times during our lives. These times can be brought on by various situations and circumstances but no matter what the cause, pain is the central feeling experienced. Crying out to God is often times all that we can do during these storms of life but we should and need to know that He is there listening and feels every ounce of pain that we're going through.

I wrote this poem my senior year of high school and now, looking back on it, I can't help but praise God for what He has brought me through and for the changes He made and is still making in me - He's amazing!!! However, I have a friend who is going through a difficult time right now and so that is why I've decided to post this poem - in hopes of reassuring her of God's everlasting love and presence throughout all we endure!!!

Only You God

Oh God, hear my cry.

My heart is breaking in two

And I'm just not sure what to do.

I know You're here with me

Because, despite all of this pain,

I can feel Your peace deep within.

I trust in You,

Let Your will be done,

But I need Your Healing

'coz my heart keeps breaking.

This pain is so deep and so I cry out to You.

You know what this is for and why I must go,

But Lord, I am blind and longing for Your touch.

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do

And so Lord, I turn to You.

With You by my side I know everything will be alright.

The pain may not leave, but in the end Your glory will shine.

And so, Lord, I cry out to You.

My heart is breaking in two

But I know the true healing I need

Will come only straight from You.
