Marooned, alone in the wasteland
Adrift in a sea of trouble
Gracious God help me understand
Piercing pain so unbearable
**********
Weariness clouding my judgment
Cold, menacing, destructive strife
Agonizing discouragement
Questioning the meaning of life
**********
What have I done to offend You
Why have You abandoned me now
The One I fervently pursue
Undying allegiance I vow
**********
Lord, lead me to my promise land
An oasis in this desert
Write your name upon my forehead
So I can bear this discomfort
**********
Let me drink of your compassion
Shower me with Your love and grace
Let your commandments be my sun
Leading me to Your secret place
**********
Where I will learn sacred secrets
Discover my own uniqueness
Purge my sin, fleshly deficits
No longer alive in darkness
**********
Now I understand, see your plan
For a season You were silent
So that this weak, earthly woman
Is worthy of her assignment
**********
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!”
