To Thee Doth My Voice Cry Out
Father, my voice cries out
from despair of the unknown;
my spirit doth tremble
at the crossroads.
Words of man give no
comfort to my soul, for
they are drowned out by
the dissonance
of my mind.
On humble knees now drops
Thy servant,
broken and helpless;
quiet this troubled spirit,
Oh Lord; quell mine
aching soul!
Grant unto me Thy wisdom,
to know what it is Thou will;
show me, oh God!
Guide these aching feet
along Thy path,
for they are weary from
travels unknown.
Help me, Father, for I
have fallen into such
despair that I dare
not rise again,
lest the winds of this
world sweep away
my soul.
Art Thou not Lord
and Master over all
creation? The Beginning
and the End of all things?
To Thee doth my voice cry out!
For Thou art the
Living God, the
Great I AM, and
Master of my
trembling heart.
Help me, Father, to trust
in Thee and to lean not
unto my own understanding,
for this mind of flesh and
bloodied heart cannot
bear the weight of this burden –
hold me in Thine
Everlasting Arms!
Help me to stay diligent in
Thy Word, to wait upon
Thy Will, that Thou mayest
raise me up, to mount up
with wings as eagles,
to let me soar above
the winds of this world.
Just as Thou preserved
Abraham and Moses,
and all of Thy people,
preserve me, oh Lord;
help me to never
lose sight of Thee!
For Thou art my God,
my Shield and Defender,
and I Thy lowly servant;
to Thee I offer up
my praise, and
give to Thee
my life.





amen, brother!

To me this reads as a Psalm of Lament. Powerful and poignant.
If thy heed his own words, he shall find peace within Him.

Indeed it is. I was actually going for the feel of a Psalm, so I’m glad you picked up on that. :)
So true. :)
