Groanings of the Soul

Frantic gasp for air
Drowning in the pain
How much can one bear
From wrongs of yesterday

Smallest sprout of hope
Tiny seed of faith
Praying they will grow
With goodness and with grace

Looking on ahead
New beginnings there
Humbly bow my head
And cry my desperate prayer

Quickly come my Lord
Hear my groaning soul
Heal, renew, restore
All empty now make full

Heaven's love surrounds
Comfort softens stone
What was lost is found
And peace at last is known

Weary heart find rest
Arms are open wide
Journey bright and blessed
Until the other side

Through You

I tell myself, "I can't go on."
I can't forgive the wrong they've done.
Cannot be who I once was
Cannot return to where I'm from

Can never undo what's in the past
Can never count on things to last
I can't forgive myself for that
Try to move on but I just can't

God of the impossible
It's gonna take a miracle
To heal my brokenness
To fix this awful mess

But through You, my soul finds rest
Through You, I can say, "I'm blessed."
Through You, my heart finds peace
Through You, I can say, "I'm free"

And through You, I have a hope
Through You, I have a home
And for forever I will stand
Because through You--I can

I tell myself, I can't do this"
I aim so well but then I miss
This is not how I wanted to live
I have given all I have to give

My hopes and dreams all fell apart
They left me worn and scarred
I just want a brand new start
Or have I fallen too far

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength
On eagles wings I will rise once again
My soul sings, even when the light is dim
Tomorrow brings new hope of life well-lived
