Tuesday's Trust - "You Cannot Know the Way Through the Unknown"





Tuesday's Trust

"You Cannot Know the Way Through the Unknown"




Who, what, when, where, how do I walk through Grief's Fog?

No end's in sight when I look straight ahead...

What steps do I take in this slippery bog?

Each step sinks or slides, now my child is dead...



By me, no one wants to come alongside'

How does one help lift up such heavy grief?

That's when He calls me, in Him to abide...

He's all I have to give constant relief!



How does the immobile walk down Grief's path

When paralyzed from Grief's burden-some load?

How to survive mobile society's wrath

When lame bodies block Upwardly Mobile Road?




The Son of Man came as a Helpless Child;

Within months of My birth, I had to flee!

Just being who I AM left people riled,

How did I survive such vile Enmity?



Finding Myself a helpless Little Lamb,

To whom did I turn to strengthen Myself?

God's Lamb continually sought Great I AM;

I did not try to forge through by Myself.




How do I make it, when my way's not clear?

I have no idea how to find the way!



Jesus speaks softly to me, I AM near...

You'll find no other map; I AM the Way."

Cling to Me; cry your tears to Me each day;

As you open up, you'll find I AM here...

I AM the Light you need; I AM the Way.




Grief throws to the ground; I'm too weak to fight;

Grief paralyzes me; I have no might;

Satan lies to me; I'm steeped in darkness rife.

Death accosts me; I find I have no life.




You cannot travel this journey alone;

But I AM your strength, and I AM your Light.

You cannot know the way through the unknown.

Trust Me; I AM the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Let the Waters Rise


MikesChair



Don't know where to begin;

It's like my world's caving in,

And I try but I can't control my fear.

Where do I go from here?



Sometimes it's so hard to pray;

You feel so far away,

But I am willing to go where You want me to.

God, I trust You!



There's a raging sea right in front of me,

Wants to pull me in, bring me to my knees.

So let the waters rise if You want them to...

I will follow You! I will follow You!

I will follow You!



I will swim in the deep 'cause You'll be next to me.

You're in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea.

You're never out of reach!

God You know where I've been;

You were there with me then.

You were faithful before, You'll be faithful again--

I'm holding Your hand!



There's a raging sea right in front of me

Wants to pull me in, bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise if You want them to--

I will follow You! I will follow You!

I will follow You!



God, Your love is Enough!

You will pull me through...

I'm holding onto you!



God, Your love is Enough!

I will follow You!

I will follow You!
