Abba

Abba

A poem by Gabriel Mattix.

Abba please help me.

I’m lost and I’m scared.

Please tell me you love me,

And remind me you’re there.

Abba, it hurts.

I’m in a great deal of pain.

Will I ever know happiness,

Or live life again?

Abba, please help me,

I cannot go on.

Is this what it felt like,

To take my sin upon?

Your burden was greater;

Far more than mine.

How did you do it?

Did you look to the sky?

Did you weep jars of tears,

And shout, “Father, Why?”

Abba, please hold me,

Close to your chest.

Never let go me,

And give me what’s best.

Lead me to quiet pastures,

And cool running streams.

Lift me up from the ashes,

To sit with my King.

I want to be with You,

Even when that means pain.

For one day You’ve promised,

To give new life again.

Abba, I love you.

My God and my King.

Please help me to trust You.

You’re my everything.
