My only hope

For the times my chest is about to cave

I can feel the streams of tears rolling down my face

And my knees feel weak below

I remember that this is not in my control

Life gets tough

Things are hard to bear at times

Yet I know I will get through it

I have complete faith that I am being refined because of this

I have complete faith that I will be thankful when this

Is no longer this and instead it is that

More of what was rather than what is

My mind likes to play tricks on me

And my heart leads me astray

My only hope is in you Lord

My only faith comes from the promises you make

I want to crumble

I want to completely fall apart

And in you, I know that is ok

In you I know I am safe

Safe to be me

Safe to be broken

Because through you

And only you

I am made whole

The moment I feel my hope is lost

I remember the Cross

And what you gave

For my simple life to be made

I remain thankful

I remain strong only the only solid rock I have

That is in you Lord

In you
