The Cry of My Heart

My heart cries out to you

God of the past, present, and the future too

I struggle to stay on the narrow path

As I battle the Devil's increasing wrath

My journey is slow

But I still have room to grow

However try as I might

I cannot be my own light

Looking for you in all that I see

God please show yourself to me

I've been suffering for years upon years

How many times have I shed hundreds of tears

Friends are few and far between

Lord what does this mean?

Have I always done wrong and never right

Where did I go wrong in my life

My days are hot my nights are cold

I am too young to feel so old

I can't keep going like this

My days of ease I miss

My plans have changed over and over again

This battle on my own I can't win

But I assure you I have tried

Why are you just sitting by

Do you care that I'm hurting

The Devil my soul is mutalating

My shoulders are weighed down

Am I lost or am I found

Show me God that you are real

Eras this doubt that I feel

I love you Lord but I can't stand

Please raise me with your loving hand

I trust you Lord with all my heart

Accept this praise to you that I impart

My heart for your love is aching

Steps toward you I am taking

But with your light I know I'll be

Your child for eternity

So even though I struggle and I'm beaten down with pain

My God you'll always pick me up again and again
