Jesus heal my heart When all joy is gone When I am broken Dead within No words left to be spoken My previous accomplishments Merely a token Of past life lived My present struggles now Overwhelm and overtake my soul Nobody near to speak kindly Nurture and nurse me to be whole.
Not every day is a Super Bowl Sadly those who know me Based on my past performance This consumes their present discourse As they try to resurrect and push me To be all I can be Yet can't they see That I'm hurting inwardly? What good am I to others If I am bleeding myself within I bring help, healing, and victory To multitudes across the world Yet now my world has been shaken My hope and joy robbed and taken Circumstances and people Have bruised and belittled me Complainers and whiners all around Little love does abound My unconditional love for my tormentors Is wearing thin I will collapse unless you soon step in With such toxic interactions I can't win Me centered ministers Pathetic self-proclaimed prophets Therapists merely seeking profits Loved ones treating me like a loser No this isn't a pity party It's simply disillusionment with life Exhaustion from excessive strife Inner turmoil and restlessness A removal of personal bliss A tender kiss followed by a brutal hiss A kind word followed by harshness Those I need seem to dismiss And disregard my personal needs Nevertheless I try to endure patiently Yet my hurt and pain continues tirelessly Though I try to ignore it Within it does speak to me Therefore I lift my heart up to heaven Asking You to kindly heal me Remove these unrealistic expectations Others put upon me Give me peace within That I might be free Please completely heal me So I again can live Wholeheartedly and happily.
