Empty Places


Lord, help me in the empty places,
Where my thoughts used to be.
They once filled up my mind, but now
I lose them so quickly.
 
I worry that the holes they leave
Might be filled with despair,
But I could find great joy in them
If I knew You were there.
 
If You would fill the emptiness
With a sense of Your grace,
Then I would not be so afraid
Of all that empty space.
 
In fact, my joy would overflow
At every empty place,
If I were to look at each one
And see, instead, Your face.
