The world is crashing down on me,
I’m helpless in its current.
I cling to my head, only hoping
to protect myself from the waves.
I can’t keep my head above the water
things are happening too fast.
the undertow drags me down again,
I fear I’ll never get back up
I slept in late and missed church.
Lord, I’m just so tired.
God feels further than ever before.
Do I even want to reach for Him?
A thirty-minute prayer meeting,
my head breaks the water’s surface.
I feel the waves coming down again,
and I take a deep breath.
A hand catches me before I go under.
A voice calms me before I panic
A love envelops me before hate’s final blow
I didn’t reach for God.
He came and found me.
The world continues crashing
it whirls against my feet
I watch as calm replaces fear
safe again on the water’s edge.
