I wrote this poem when I was in the depths of despair. When I felt like my depression would never end but the love of Jesus Christ gave me a glimmer of hope.
I feel the warm touch of the Savior and the heavenly comfort of my father in heaven
While I stand on my own it’s ok because I know Christ walks beside me
As my heart shatters once again
I know it will be made whole soon through him
As sorrow brings me to the depths of loneliness and pain I know I’ll be sane someday because of him
Sometimes skies are grey but I can be brave
We are so resilient for today and everyday
There are trials and we don’t get a say
There are people and situations that bring us to our knees
Begging please for it to stop and to all go away
Then I remember my Savior
His goodness and love fills my being
I’m believing what I am not seeing
I will conquer the dark days with my Redeemer
My brother will take me by the hand and guide me through the storm
He lifts me on the days I wish I was never born
Step by step and tear after tear he is always near
When you feel you can’t go on remember remember a redeemed soul song
I know that my redeemer lives
Reach out to him and he will embrace you
You are his to care for
This trial will not be that long
Come unto me and see, for I am with thee
So much beauty and pain in your words. There was a lot of remembrance for me while reading, of hard times and similar feelings. It also reminds me to be slow to judge and quick to help, just because someone isn’t bleeding on the outside doesn’t mean they aren’t in anguish. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and vulnerable words. Love you my Lani!
