down… looking up


My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you…
Psalm 42:6

I long for God, like a hunted animal.
When will I see God?
Feasting on tears, hearing taunting jeers
I choose to pour out my soul
reflecting on the joy of the Lord.

Why so sad? I will hope again.
I choose to recall the Ruler of all.
Deep waters echo with deep waters
as I am drowned in sorrow.
Yet grace is with me…
love surrounds me…
My song in this night 
is the God of my life.

To You my questions pour.
Can I take any more
of feeling forgotten… 
of mourning… mocked by others… 
bones feeling rotten?
Where are You, God?

Downcast soul, churning with confusion
I tell myself there is coming salvation.
Hope in God! Praise Him!
My Savior was down and You did raise Him!
I will look up to You, Lord!
I will trust in Your Word!
