I Cannot Go On

I cannot go on;
Can’t take another step.
Is this how You felt Lord,
When on earth You wept?

I’m broken and frail,
This misery is unending.
For this anguish within,
It seems there’s no mending.

Grief leads to grief,
The drums of pain pound.
Life kicks as it mocks,
And drives me to the ground.

Hurt drones ever constant,
Can there be true relief?
The intensity is relentless.
It beggars belief.

I do not remember,
What good health feels like.
Infirmity’s run through,
My head with a spike.

My body, it aches,
My fragile skull throbs.
Against pain I’m defenseless.
It feeds on my sobs.

Lord Yahweh please hear me,
Harken to my cry.
I cannot bear this burden,
No matter how hard I try.

Why oh Lord Jesus?
Why all this pain?
Every time I stand up,
I am trampled again.

Oh Yahweh of hosts,
My Shelter please be.
In You alone my heart boasts.
You’re my everything.

Apart from Your Spirit,
Your mercy and grace.
I will drown and be ruined.
I will die in disgrace

Please raise me up,
By Your salvation on High.
To me in the darkness,
Lord of Light do draw nigh.

You know my anguish.
You know my hurt.
You suffered far greater,
For us in the dirt.

You were nailed to a cross;
Gasped for air on the beam.
But You conquered and rose.
You’re worthy of all esteem.

You keep count of our tears;
Cherish the sick and the lame.
To revive and restore us,
From heaven You came.

In You I have hope,
True purpose and peace.
I love you Lord Jesus.
Please wash white my fleece.

Please dry my wet eyes,
And silence my fears.
Please help me to trust You,
For all of my years.

With You I can patiently,
Endure all this pain.
Soon in Your kingdom,
We’ll not know it again.

You are the good Shepherd,
Who died for His sheep.
It’s You who now leads us,
To the mercy seat.

How beautiful You are;
So awesome and holy.
I trust You Lord Jesus,
And worship You solely.
