Chaos and Pain

Chaos and pain, falling like rain
Everywhere I turn, it's always the same..
The hurting, the crying, the sick and the dying.
The sadness, the tears... all those wasted years.

Everywhere I go, everyone I know,
Always the same, chaos and pain...

No mercy, no grace, no love in this place,
I scream in pain, why don't they know Your NAME???
Can they not see, what it means to be...
Loved. By You.
Held. By You.
Saved. By You.

All these thoughts, swirling, whirling, spinning out of control
Rescued from a pit of despair,
No longer dreaming of someone to care.
Hope and Love, Joy and Peace...
only found at Your Feet.

Rest.... Exquisite rest,
Unlike we've ever known.
The feeling of knowing You are our best,
accepting the love You've always shown.

Clinging to You, and the hope that You bring,
seeking Your guidance in everything..
Being obedient to all that You ask,
Letting go of the things we clung to in the past.

Learning and growing,
seeking and sowing,
Listening and showing...
Your light is already glowing.

Hearing the cry...
Stopping. Not passing by.
Trusting in You, do.... or die.

Die to self and wealth, sickness and pain
Awakening with love, joy and no shame. 
Knowing You are there, that You love and You care.
Knowing... You are always there.
