Lord, Help Me Through This Storm

Jesus I'm calling out your name,

A heart weighed down, crushed by the pain.

Lord, help me through this stormy night,

Holding despair, but searching for light.

Watching her tears, like rain they fall,

I’m breaking down, I feel so small.

Memories haunting, they strike like a knife,

Fear of losing her is bleeding my life.

In these shadows, I start to drown,

With every wave, I feel I’m breaking down.

Take this pain, I can’t hold it on,

If I’m empty, how can I be strong?

Jesus, save me, I’m tired and so worn,

Every moment feels like a re-birth, a storm.

I’m willing to fight but the battle’s too hard,

Take this burden, lift my heart scarred.

Days turn to nights filled with haunting dreams,

The darkest nights tearing at my seams.

His last breath lingers, it echoes still,

In this sorrow, against my will.

I stumble as I wear this heavy frown,

But I feel her love, pulling me around.

I can't take it anymore lord, my wife's in the bedroom crying from the loss of her dad, my kids just stay in there rooms, we're all so confused, I'm sitting on the couch, I feel so helpless, how can I comfort my wife in this tragedy, give me the words to comfort her, where are lord why can't I hear you why can't I feel your presence, how am I supposed to keep my wife and kids high spirited, when I feel like this, lord show me what to do, give me a sign,

So I lay down my fears at your feet,

Restore my spirit, help me find peace.

In your hands, I’m ready to mend,

Let love and hope be the guide, my friend.

Lord, help me, I’m calling out for grace,

In this fragile heart, I find my place.

Strengthen my soul, let this suffering fade,

In your embrace, my fears will cascade.
