Close To Me - Re-Posted

However strong I seem to be,
My heart’s not made of stone.
Sometimes it’s harder than you'd think
To face life all alone.

There are those days when I’m so cold

And bowed beneath my load,
All I can see ahead of me
Is an unending road.

I turn my heart and hand to serve.

I love those on my path.
The dearest return love for love,
But many offer wrath.

Yet, when the sorrow smothers me,
I know that you are near,

And, when my broken heart cries out,
You whisper in my ear.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
