Dear Lord

Dear Lord please take this burden
that is weighing down on me,
help me to arise each day
with the feeling that I am free.

I am drowning in a deep despair
that I can not seem to shake,
it encompasses my heart while I'm asleep
and is still there when I awake.

Father God please lift my spirits
at this so special time of year,
I need to focus on your love
and cleanse myself of fear.

I try hard to look above these clouds
that seem to be suffocating me,
but my heart is dim and my thoughts are dry
I need to rehydrate emotionally.

I shall stay right here upon my knees
offering to you my undying love,
until I feel you've sent to me
Your sweet healing from above.
