Begin Again

Dear God, can you hear me?

Can you hear my wounded heart crying?

This pain…is something I just want to bury.

Could you tell me how to stop my heart from aching?

Dear God, You’re the only one I can hold on to. 

In these times of trouble, please tell me what to do.

I’ve got so many questions in my head…

And I know unless it is in Your time, they’re not mine to comprehend.

But, Dear God, what did I do to deserve this?

 They say that ignorance is truly a bliss.

And in my quest for answers, I only have You, a paper, and a pen.

Dear God, please show me how to begin again.

Begin again, when I can no longer feel this pain.

Begin again, with someone whose love won’t feign.

Begin again, in times of trouble, he’ll stand by me.

Begin again, he’ll fill our days together with glee.

Dear God, I know you can hear me.

I know you’re there, and I know you’re telling me to wait. 

And I will wait for You, but please set my heart free.

Free from sorrow and pain; please teach me to have faith.

Dear God, I feel so helpless in my situation.

Each crack of my heart and soul feels like obliteration.

I’m so lost and confused, I feel devastated and abused.

Please help me gain my dignity that has long been bruised.

Dear God, please lead me to what I truly deserve. 

I’ve given my all to him, but he just left me alone and unnerved.

I know I got to give my heart some time to heal, and until then,

Dear God, please show me how to begin again.

Begin again, when Your plans are greater than my expectations.

Begin again, through Your Grace I can conquer all my demons.

Begin again, I’ll see life and love through Your eyes.

Begin again, sunshine will come as the last teardrop dries.
