Oh Lord You know my fears You see my struggles It is only through you that these will be removed Yahweh You see me in the dark My soul filled with burdens Like those on Christian’s back Dear Jesus My life is yours But I feel so drained I hide behind a smile that is only a lie Abba, my Father My tears fall down behind closed doors I know I am not alone I feel you holding me in your hand as I confide in you Jehovah Jireh Grant me the peace which my grieving spirit longs Calm my sea The storm I carry with me This prayer I lift to you Oh God of Israel You move mountains The rocks cry out to you Cast away my loneliness, the sorrow I feel tonight My Prince of Peace I am drowning in this hardship My heart continues to ache I do not understand this depression My King of Kings I am so small compared to you You take care of the sparrows And the lilies of the field You grant me your peace Wonderful Counselor I read the treasures in your Word I find your comfort One day I know I will reach that grand Celestial City Adonai My soul filled with burdens Like those on Christian’s back Will roll away down the hill Because of that redeeming blood I never will deserve
