A thought...or two

The following are the lyrics from a song by the group Tenth Avenue North. I have been really struggling with depression over the past two weeks. It has grown intensely and I am growing very weary of dealing with it. This song seemed to fit where I am at the moment and so I share the words:

How long must I pray

Must I pray to You?

How long must I wait

Must I wait for You?

How long till I see Your face

See You shining through

I’m on my knees

Begging You to notice me

I’m on my knees

Father, will You turn to me

One tear in the driving rain

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breaking heart

One life, that’s all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You’re everything You say You are

Would You come close and hold my heart

I’ve been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes

So much can slip away before I say goodbye

But if there’s no other way

I’m done asking why
So many questions without answers

Your promises remain

I can’t see but I’ll take my chances

To hear you call my name

To hear you call my name
