Is this how it was meant to be?
This wait, this trial for me
It’s a challenge to stay sober
Lord I just can’t go on any longer

The valleys last too long
The shadows grow too cold
I strain just to sing Your song
The pain, it burns me so

How can I go on when I strain to see You?
Its tougher than how I feel
The storm clouds suffocate and cover
How do I find joy when I suffer?

But I will remember what You have done
The blessings and how You carried me
Somehow one day I’ll see the sun
And I know You’re doing so much more than what I can see
For I know not the wonderful plans You have for me

And I will sing,
Even when the storms close in
Though I grow weak and weary
I know Who will carry,
Yes I know Who loves so deeply

So once again I come before You
Emptied like never before
Its so hard to be still
Amidst the tears and sores
But I know You understand
And its in You I find comfort
In the Son of Man,
In He who doesn’t turn away the hurt
