Have you been to the bottom of lonely? Have you felt the depths of despair? Do you live in a world of if only? Jesus can meet you there Have you ever felt abandoned? Or locked in a room without air? Left to suffocate on your own sorrow Jesus can meet you there I know the pain of rejection I’ve lived the life of hate I’ve sacrificed my tomorrows For what I thought I needed today I have been consumed by hatred Of others, but mostly of me I have been to the bottom of lonely But Jesus set me free Have you dressed yourself in self loathing? Not caring if you live or die Do you drink the cup of foreboding? Jesus can erase that lie I have been deeper than the loneliest lonely I’ve been crushed by the darkest despair Suicide was my one and only And Jesus met me there A mother’s love was foreign to me A father’s love was ne’er to be When love could not be found anywhere Jesus met me there Do you know the feeling of empty? Do you know the pain of being lost? When every light in the house is on And all you see is dark Daylight or moonlight, it all the same Different shades of hatred added to my shame Below the depths of loneliness Beneath the bowels of pain I could swear I heard Jesus calling Calling my name My hand in His, my name on His lips His blood poured upon my brow He lifted my face to see the Son Which is why I’m with you now Now in the middle of the night Alone in my room All I can see is His light And I know He is coming soon You are the Savior, this I know You are the Savior, so help me let go I need Your grace, I need Your love I want to fly on the wings of a dove My grasp of pain is tight and sure It’s all I have; it’s all that is pure I don’t want to hurt and I don’t want to cry So help me let go and to say goodbye Don’t leave me stranded out here on this limb Do not forsake me too I’m learning to rely on Your Truth I’m learning to trust in You Have you reached the bottom of lonely? Been forsaken time and again Sold your soul to shame’s delight To feel loved for a moment in time Never being loved by a human heart I didn’t understand Jesus’ part Why would I surrender to God, Who left me here to die everyday What kind of sick joy did He get, Out of watching me live this way He allowed this pain to come upon me He allowed me to grow in a sea of hurt He gave me no choices when I was younger And now he wants my heart? Where was He when Mother left? Where was He when Dad didn’t care? What makes me so unlovable? Why couldn’t Jesus meet me there? I was there my son Each and every time And when you cried alone in the middle of the night I added your tears to Mine I cannot force My will upon others A fact that shall remain true But know that My heart was broken Each time they chose to hurt you I can make it better I can heal your pain If you would only let Me And seek Me again I’ve loved you enough to sacrifice all I held dear To give you a new beginning today The devil will fight, but he will lose Can you still hear Me calling Calling your name 11/11/2005 M.

This is a long poem as it needed to be to show your life-long struggle. God is there and you have found him. Well done poem. Love, Joyce |

Wow. Sounds like you have been through a lot but have always found Jesus when you reached the end of your rope. A very long poem but one that needs to be to understand your life. Well written. Rhyming poems are my favourite kind. Blessings. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

This was written from the perspective of a struggling teen dealing with the disappointments of life while facing the truth of God. |
