Helping Hand

You go thru life

And say you’re alive

When every day

A part of you will die

You wake up every morning

And find that you’re asleep

Clinging to what you knew

Knowing none of it you can keep

You ask yourself when

This nightmare will end

Only to find that

It’s just starting to begin

The strength you once had

To get up off your knee

Disappears and disintegrates

Into nothing but a plea

You cry out for help

But no one seems to hear

As you slowly slip back

Into nothing but fear

Your arm stretched forward

As you bleed out

Kicking and screaming

You begin to shout

Lying on the ground

You’re all alone

You try to make a noise

It’s only a moan

Broken and beaten

You listen for a sound

Then suddenly you realize

You have been found

A voice sounds out

Loud and clear

My daughter, listen to Me

You have nothing to fear

I’ve been here all along

And I saw you fall

I cried many tears

As I watched you crawl

So hear Me now

As I offer you My hand

You know I’ll only lead you

To where there’s dry land

You reach up and grab

For the one hand that’s there

Knowing that God

Is the only one who cares.

Suddenly the clouds

Seem to clear

As the waves calm

And the waters disappear

For the blood of Christ

Is on your hand

So on solid rock

You finally stand
