Sometimes it's hard to trust
for with trust comes betrayal
Sometimes it's hard to love
for with love comes tears and pain
Sometimes it's hard to try
For with trying comes failure
Sometimes it's hard to cry
for crying is often seen as a sign of vulnerability
Sometimes it's hard to be me
for many people are trying to hurt me
They laugh when I cry
They smile when I frown
They rejoice in my failure
And wish that I’m gone
Oh God, this feeling inside of me right now
Just too heavy to bear
Just too hard to endure….
I don’t want to lose hope
for I know You're my strength
And I don’t want to surrender
for I know You're a winner
Help me dear LORD to cast away these feelings,
These thoughts,
These aches,
Carry me on Your arms
And make me feel safe…
