How do I tell…

… what brings us low

… what pulls us down

… what wipes the smile

and draws that frown

… what brings us tears

and breaks the heart

… what shatters the soul

and tears it apart

… what dims our hope

… what test our faith

… what makes us empty

and void creates

how do i tell…

… the pain i cant describe

… the sorrows i cant hide

… that I’m trying to be tough

but my strength is not enough.

in prayer i might be able

in prayer i will

in prayer my soul will rest

in prayer i will be still.
