Loneliness

Loneliness so thick

It’s felt in the air

Sweat and blood drips

From Your head as I stare

I wake up defeated 

I slept for sorrow

O, what can I do Lord

To prevent tomorrow

I took You for granted

The One who does it all

Trinitarian company

But alone You now fall

I ask in my smallness

Can I prevent this mess

You respond in all sadness

Stay awake for the test

Nothing I can do

You did it for us all

Stay obedient in prayer

In the times when I crawl

They take You away

I can’t handle this pain

In my weakness I flee

Taking the easier way

Alleviation impossible

Too helpless to rest

They took my Good Savior

As He saves us from death

To free us of sin

That holds the world down

In a form of a cross

In a form of a crown

And now You hang there

I hear Your voice in my head

No love is greater

Than giving your life for a friend
