IRONIES OF LIFE (08.03.13)

Lord, I feel like I'm lost in a well lighted place
It doesn't make sense but that's how I feel now;
The light seems to be so bright, it almost blinded me
Not to see the way that would lead me straight to You.

My heart longs for You dear God

But You seem to be too far away;

My soul longs for Your sweet presence

But I just can't feel You near me.



Just like the psalmist, it's my prayer Lord 
That You "search me and know my heart;"
That You "test me and know my anxious thoughts"
And please guide me to the way that leads to You.



In my weakness Lord, You are my strength 
Teach me to fully trust in Your ways;
Even if it may sometimes mean suffering and pain
Help me Lord to run the race with You 'till the end.
