unable to let go
   of what is killing me
unwilling to see the light
   that could save me
unthinking in my actions
   that make you cry
unstoppable in my pursuit
   of self distruction

give me something to live for
hope
love
joy
anything

whisper in my ear
the love you feel
cool my pain
with Your rain of tears

where am I to go from here
I've fallen as far as I can
yet I have no strength to rise

I see Your hand stretched out
offering me the help I need
the power of the rock
and the strength of a father
who wants to see His child fly.

Isaiah 1:18

"Everybody loves a rose, will you be thankful for the thorns?" -All Together Seperate

A place where we are all at without Christ "un place"  till we remember "we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us"  I always enjoy reading your poems..they make you stop and think.

There always seems to be a hand near by in our times of darkness to help us escape be the hand of GOD or the hand of another.  Good poem.   -Bob

You make me wanna sing...'God will make a way, where there seems to be no way. He works in way we cannot see, he will make a way for me...'

I'm singing...

Lift up your head.
Where Christ is there
There shall be no darkness.
God will make a way;
You know it because
He is everywhere.
He knows all things.

Lift up your head.
Whenever you need love,
We are here for you.
God will make a way;
Just when you think you're lost
God will make a way...
God will make a way...

~The first two cup of tea is to throw away; what remains is the best of all.
~Blessed are those who find ordinary things extraordinary.

Always darkest before dawn.  More than His outstreched hand, were His arms on the cross.  He came for us when we couldn't reach Him.  Thanks for sharing.

UN, could very well stand for UNIVERSAL NEED, for what you present here, at atime we have all been there or are going through it-
"there in none, righteous, no not one"
"for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."(both from the book of Romans).

May we see & heed-
by doing so,He'll fill our need-
And help us o'ercome our Greed!

God bless us all!

A total heart reaching poem. (yes, reaching)
Where can we go when we're so down? No where but up sweetie.

I could really relate to this poem, sad, a strong cry for the help of God, yet hopeful and written with beauty. Very touching, keep reaching up, He's listening, and there's always hope, even when we don't always see it.

God bless you, and bring comfort to your soul. (((((HUGS)))))

Life may have influenced who we R, but we're responsible for what we become.
I don't question YOUR existance- GOD
