Tears in Despair

 

As sorrow spills out of my eyes

My heart drowns in its flow.

It feels as if I’ve lost all joy,

While I watch my grief grow.

Oh Lord, I’m lost in dark despair,

I can’t find my way out,

And I’ve completely forgotten

What joy is all about.

I beg You, Lord, lead me from grief

And lift me from despair.

You are the only hope I know.

I pray, Lord, You’re still there.

Job 17:7

My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.
