This is Living

 Struggle. This day was an all around struggle for many of us in the Com School. I had to leave campus because I needed to get away. For 2 hours I sat in a coffee shop and read my bible, journal'd, and prayed. I couldn't figure out where the hurt was coming from. It was all encompassing and consuming. There was a burden not foreseen. The Lord spoke to me in my time with Him as well as through the heavy clouds in the sky. I drove back home in my car and teared up a little. Today, was a day that many of my brothers and sisters were struggling as well. It was prayed over at rehearsal tonight. All day I have had such a heavy burden to cry. When I got home tonight all let loose and this Psalm is a result of my cries... I didn't sit there and try to come up with this... it just came. God Inspired.

This Is Living

Lord why am I weeping?

I have come to know this position well

As if I lie in my mothers womb

Everything in me erupts 

I have spilled everything on the floor

My bags I have dropped at your feet

Selah

Lord why have you created me so?

Who I am confuses even myself

Everyday something new

There are no sounds

Though my mouth is open

My body contracts and silence

Selah

Lord what is this that plagues me?

It came in the night while I was sleeping

There was no stop to it

My eyes are dry

Yet my heart it is an ocean of tears

I’m drowning in it, save me!

Selah

Lord who is hurting?

They’re cries are ringing out

The silence screams for their sake

Its everywhere

I can feel the devastation

A cry for help in a foreign land

Selah

Lord I see You coming!

As we cry out, You whisper

My Love I Came and I am Coming

Selah
