My heart is so broken

And I fill now with tears

To see life’s wounded soul

Please take away my fears

I’m down and so weary

And grow heavy and sad

I feel life’s deep sorrow

Please remove all the bad

I’m often frightened and alone

And worry what’s to come

So often, I fear the unknown

Soothe my fear, send someone

I’m hurt and often bitter

Darkness wraps around me

Holding me tightly in grasp

Be my light, set me free

I’m weak and not ready

To live in hope and trust

Unsure and not steady

To hold You Lord, I must

For You lived earthly life to give

And to guide us back home

You died for us, to forgive;

That we’d no longer be alone

Help me to forgive and to live

As You taught us all with love

For You have lived and loved me;

As a boundless gift from above

As the good thief once said

"This man has done no wrong"

Also thus please judge me

Forever to be with You I long
