This is a poem about how I felt in the midst of a depression . |
I don,t know when it first happened to me But I am as certain as I can be That I couldn,t eat and I couldn,t sleep--- All I could do was moan and weep One minute I was happy---like on a high And the next I felt like I wanted to die My joy was gone---forever drained And I was drowning in the pain I didn,t have a thought to think And felt like I was on the brink Of finally losing all control--- Never again to feel whole. I tried to face people with a smile--- But I couldn,t find one---and all the while The world had gone from a beautiful shade To one that made me deathly afraid. My friends were distant and I was too--- They didn,t know that I was so blue. What happened---where are You Lord Why is it I can,t hear Your word? I struggled and I really cried Out to the Lord---"come back by my side" And finally He answered and said"I,m with you Now you have done what you have to do". And He spread His arms---opened them wide And I felt the joy as I ran inside. In the arms of Jesus is where I belong--- And now I am singing a happy song. No more to wander---no I,ll never stray--- In the arms of Jesus is where I,ll stay. |
