In times of my deepest distress

I look for any answer, searching at best

For some solution firm to stand by

For any reason wherefore or why

Is there a purpose for this to be

A way to understand or clearly see

Will I ever really and truly know

Is there something thereby to show

I know You are always there my Jesus

In all times and for all seasons

But it’s hard to hurt and pray

And now to face yet another day

I feel Your presence in my trials

Yet lonely are these few painful miles

As I traverse my field of sorrow

Is there comfort somewhere to borrow

My burden weighs on my mind

As peace I urgently search to find

In You dear Lord I seek to really see

How my peace can come to be

I feel closest to You when in pain

And turn to You again and again

Sharing in Your suffering for me

Will surely brace me, help me to be

Your loving warmth and light I seek

To carry me thru, to help me speak

I need Your grace to make me strong

To heal my wounds , for this I long

Lift me up and strengthen me

Heal my heart, set me free

Help me cross this field of sorrow

And emerge fresh in the morrow
