Psalm for a Broken Heart

When dreams dissolve and hope disappears,
When there is only lonely echoes of a reality that isn't,
When you finally hit the bottom of an endless tumbling fall,
When all the possibilities sink into the dark and heavy night,
When my heart is full of tears and my vision loses sight,
Then, as I lie here in the muck of my life,
Broken and torn with my heart's blood pouring out
Leaving me weak and dieing...

I shall lift my eyes to the only one
Who can bring me comfort and share my tears.

I am lost, but not alone.
I am sad, but not without hope.
I am broken, but not to death.
I am bleeding, but never empty.

For my God is Mighty and He reigns forever.
Not only in Heaven, but in every mundane day of life on earth.
Jehovah is my Father and His power is absolute.
He is in control and He never leaves my side.
Even when I can not feel Him He is here.

He is with me in my loneliness, and in my pain,
In my loss, and in my brokenness,
And standing with me as I face the darkness.
He pours out His light into the empty places of my soul
Until His Spirit fills me up and overflows.
Then, the empty broken pieces no longer have control.
For earthly loneliness doesn't matter in the presence of His LOVE!
