1-2 Long enough, God— you've ignored me long enough.
I've looked at the back of your head
long enough. Long enough
I've carried this ton of trouble,
lived with a stomach full of pain.
Long enough my arrogant enemies
have looked down their noses at me.
3-4 Take a good look at me, God, my God;
I want to look life in the eye,
So no enemy can get the best of me
or laugh when I fall on my face.
5-6 I've thrown myself headlong into your arms—
I'm celebrating your rescue.
I'm singing at the top of my lungs,I'm so full of answered prayers. (Psalm 13, The Message)
He is able, and He will rescue me. He is able, and He will rescue me.
In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.
I need my God to rescue me, for I'm drowning in my own mess and my enemies are watching in delight.
Laughing, poking, kicking me while I'm down. Against them I cannot stand. Not alone.
Jesus, do You hear me? Jesus, will you come? Will I some day see You? Will I someday get to go Home?
He is able, and He will rescue me. He is able, and He will rescue me.
In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.
He delights in me, and dances over me all day long. He is enthralled by my beauty and knows every note of my unique song.
Therefore I will hope. I will Hope. I will Hope in Him and no one else. Hope in Him and nothing else. He is able and He will come.
Something I've been thinking about:
Jesus is called the Prince of Peace.
The Holy Spirit is called the Comforter.
I'm glad to see you back, Lu. I've been concerned, but had no idea what to do. Besides... I've been making very heavy weather of things myself.
