Confident Crisis Time
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I cry aloud to God,
Asking Him to hear me;
Forgive where I am flawed,
Mine err to help me see.
On the day of trouble,
I seek to You O Lord;
To stretch from the rubble,
Defy to be ignored.
Ceasing not of my soul,
Looking for Your comfort;
In order to console,
From my foes that subvert.
I moan and meditate,
I remember You, Lord;
As my spirit does faint,
Felt like being ignored.
You open up my eyes,
With words I cannot speak;
Wisdom to make me wise,
For directions to seek.
I consider the days,
Of the years-long ago;
How I look at the ways,
The blessings use to flow.
Thinking my song at night,
To commune in my heart;
Making search for the light,
Hoping not to depart.
Will, You spurn forever,
Favorable no more;
Did the bonding sever,
That You have locked the door.
Has Your steadfast love cease,
Promise failed for all time;
And revoking my lease,
Because of a sick crime.
You forgot of Your grace,
Compassion has been locked;
O Lord God please embrace,
Feeling as being blocked.
