Too many thoughts
I’m tied up in knots
You toss down a line
But I’m walking this rope
I’m dangling precariously
Across a canyon that’s wide
I’m losing my footing
I’m searching for hope
I know that You’re near
So why do I doubt?
I’m swimming for shore
But the sharks were let out
Just when I believe
I just might hit dry land
A tidal wave strikes
Like a great mighty hand
It tosses me wide
I’m starting to sink
Where is that rope?
Why can’t I think?
Where is my faith?
Where is the shore?
I thought I was close
I don’t know anymore
You call me a fighter
I don’t know when to quit
I know I can’t lose
And who my mighty God is
The waves they rise higher
I’m set back a pace
But they can’t hold back love
And they won’t hide Your face
So I’ll swim all night long
If that’s what it takes
I’ll grab hold of that rope
And I’ll hang onto faith
Till I’m walking on water
Not this silly tightrope
Till I’m praising Your name!
And I’m rejoicing in Hope!

Just when I believe
I just might hit dry land
A tidal wave strikes…..Where is my faith?
Where is the shore?
I thought I was close
I don’t know anymore.
These words I truly felt, you put into words what I experienced recently going through something.
Thankyou Tina for sharing this.
