Just When

I have reached the full depth of my sorrows
For what I have and have not done
For what I have said and not said
For what I have received but not given
In the midst of this malaise
Comes His amazing gift of life itself
His wondrous love, given freely given in abundance
 
I feel trapped in loneliness and emptiness
When I feel deserted, alone, separated
Unable to handle the burdens I bear
Unable to lift myself out of this valley
Struggling to find the right road
I feel His hand holding mine
I feel Him filling my emptiness with life itself
 
I feel a cutting desolation and parching dryness of heart
When I feel like a flawed and an empty vessel
All poured out and having no more to give
Devoid of any more passion or hope
Longing for some fulfillment, some completion
I feel the cool stream of His ever flowing grace
Filling me up, strengthening me for more
Calling me to pour myself out again
