Lord, Carry Me Gently Today
Written by tbirdonawire on April 27th, 2007Lord carry me gently today.
Because of the fragile state of my mind and body,
The pain in my heart intensifies.
A fleeting reminder of my son
Rips open the wound of grief there.
Pick me up lovingly in Your arms,
And carry me this painful day.
For my strength vanishes and
Leaves me helpless beside the road of life
To perish.
Speak softly to reassure my heart
Of Your loving concern for me.
With it comes comfort for my broken life.
From Your own lips, allow me to hear
Your promises of hope as You carry me this day.
Lord, the storms of grief rage in my heart.
My soul is dashed against the rocks in the sea of life.
But as You carry me gently this painful day,
Peace from You finds its way into my life,
And with it comes a calm lull in the storm.
The grief and pain
From the death of my son
Still linger in my heart,
But with Your strength and help, Lord,
I can continue my journey in this world.
