IN MY DESPERATION

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you

Will you hear me or turn me away

With a heart so heavy and full of pain

I have often wondered what you could possibly see in me

All my life I’ve been a failure what else could I ever be

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you

Lord I want to trust you but I just don’t know how

You know I’m not patient I want everything right now

What could I ever offer you that would help to set me free?

I have had to be so protective of everything that has dealt with me

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you

A vessel that is broken and to me cannot be fixed

Feeling so unworthy to even speak your name

I see nothing but a lump of clay that is marred beyond repair

I have often wondered Lord why you would even care

In my desperation Lord you said to me

I AM THAT I AM and there is none other

I am he who would be to you a father and a mother

Don’t look about for things to earthly satisfy

I came and gave my best for you so that you wouldn’t have to die

In your desperation you cried out to me

Yes my child I heard you every single plea

I will never leave you yes I will always be near

Just call on me casting all your doubts and fear

I will always be true to you no matter the time

For even in your mother’s womb Child you were mine
