“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to You. Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; incline Your ear to me; in the day that I call, answer me speedily.” Psalm 102:1-2

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Walk His Way Revisited

I sit and wait.

Heart beats much too fast

as I tremble with fear.

Please, Lord, come near.

Jesus, hold me together,

else I will fly apart

into millions of pieces,

starting with my heart.

///

Fear as sharp as a knife

slicing through our life.

Fear we can’t control

unless His hand we hold.

His name we say, that’s the way we pray.

Still I sit and wait and am frozen in fear.

Heart beats too fast,

Jesus, Lord, come near.

///

Not cancer, I whisper, please.

I can’t say it out loud.

Over all I hold dear

it casts such a dark cloud.

My thoughts are a jumble,

they make no sense.

I search for a reason

through a fog that is dense.

///

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

His dear name I repeat.

The only way to any comfort

as I’m frozen in this seat.

So I wait and I wait,

then into His pierced hands

I gently release

My love—my man!

Father, I know Your promise is to be faithful to us and walk us through this dark valley. Help us cling to You as we wait. Comfort us with Your presence. We pray this in the strong name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
