Through This Rough Place


I feel . . . I am so all alone now

Just me and you together, God

I can't understand or comprehend it

But I know you're my "Comforting Rod"

Why this happened, I don't see a reason

Perhaps, you're simply conducting a test

But why now. . . .In my "Winter" season

When I only want to enjoy life, and rest

 
So separated, from all my loved ones

I lean on you. . . Night and day

Trials and troubles come, by the tons

I pray you clear my path, and make a way

 
Make a way for my understanding

The things you allow me to go through

I'm afraid of falling, and a crash landing

Oh Lord, how I lean upon . . . You

Yet, maybe that's the answer I'm seeking

I'm learning, I must trust you, alone

For you watch over my safe keeping

As I ponder over my life . . . And atone

 
You have a purpose for everything

I've read of "Job" and his sad situation

After my testing . . .praises , I will sing

As I'm filled, with sweet celebration

 
So, as I travel through this rough place

I reach out for your hand, to feel secure

Yes, I'm alone, but I can see your face

And I know that you are able to restore

 
Your ways, I know are not our ways

And I have "Held fast" for so very long

I pray you'll soon bring joy, to my days

As I praise and bless you. . . In song!
