I Cry Out

Home‎ > ‎2002 Poems‎ > ‎

God help me

"Out of the depths I cry"

Terrified to fall in again

Aware you are the only way out

Frustrated by your silence
Distressed to be here again

Where are you, why are you...?

What did I do?

That was really so wrong?

Oh Lord, you're the One I love

I know I do, I remember it

I remember your soft touch

Gentle tears, invisible caresses

Oh, please come again

Please rescue me anew

You're the key, you alone know
Better than I, you know my need

Let all else fall away
That I would again take hold

Of your perfect promises

And stride into the Light

Oh, to love again

Richly, deeply, everlastingly

Like you, the way I've asked to
With freedom, with abandon

Yet steadily, constantly, graciously

Oh, I love you still

I know you are so faithful

Surely you will answer my cry

Stephen Pursell, 11/3/02
