Letting Go

Heavy heart, aching eyes, trembling lips and a battered soul are all that are mine.
But to the hellos and waves, I offer lit eyes and bright smiles.
Day by day, my hope fades;
Bit by bit, my strength wanes.
They say it’s just a phase,
but it’s more like a race;
a never ending craze.
Turn after turn, I search for a way,
out of this maze.
But all i find, is futility as a prize.

Desperately I cry out,
overwhelmed I give it all up.
I fall to my knees and am still.
It’s then that His whisper embraces me.
In it, His truth rings out,
louder than all my worries.
I draw near and bask in His promises.
The shackles of anxiety loosen and my fears take flight.
It’s in this moment that I find peace.
In this fellowship, the haze clears.
I am at ease cuz my cares are His,
and my soul finds rest in the promise of His love.
