Deep Waters
Tears and sorrow overwhelmed me
day after day after week after year
No relief in sight as hopelessness
appeared to win and then
He drew me out of
deep waters
Each day presents a new challenge
or the same challenge never ending
And I feel like I’m drowning
in evasion and falsehood but
He draws me out of
deep waters
Tedium is like rising water
and I’m not that tall so
it’s sure to be over my head
eventually and yet
He draws me out of
deep waters
New loss reminds of past loss
and grief changes but never goes away
floods emotion unexpectedly
till I’m drowning and then
He draws me out of
deep waters
And in the end I soar above
the deep waters in faith
knowing He will always
draw me out
