Where are you now?

Oh lord where are you now?
You were with me
Though my sins abounded
It was my darkest hour
But your face was there
Clear in my sight
Guiding me through
To the light I see now
But
Now in the clear
Your presence has left
Your face it hides
In the clearness of the sky
I long to feel your warmth
The way I once did
Must I suffer to feel you
To see you
To be near?
Help me to find you now
My life is good
But still you aren’t found
The biggest problem is now
That you aren’t here
in my joy
in my prospers
in my victories.

Be Still My Mind

Be still my mind,
As confusion knocks;
A flood of thoughts
That blinds clear sight.
Oh, Lord
Only you can relax my mind,
My attempts are vain,
And create a fog
That only your breath can clear.
Speak your words,
Relay your will,
Oh Lord,
Make my mind be still.
