My Heart is Heavy

My heart is heavy

My soul is sad

I can’t find the smile

That I once had

I pretend that I’m happy

When I’m falling apart

The sadness around me

Is breaking my heart

What can I do

How can I help

To ease all the pain

I keep asking myself

The losses traumatic

The grief is so deep

I reach deep inside

Still I can’t help but weep

How will this go

Where will this end

The sickness and death

Of family and friends

And what do we do

Until that day comes

How do we function

Without going numb

Lord give me strength

Lord give me sight

To walk through this world

Still shining your light

Help me to comfort

Those in despair

Give me the words

To ease all they bear

Please ease my soul

And comfort my heart

And keep me aware

Of my important part

The purpose you gave me

The strength and the will

Accepted with honor

And with Grace to fulfill

I know you are with us

Forsaken we’re not

Help us remember

The blessings we’ve got

Through all of the chaos

The hurt and the pain

The love that you offer

Will always remain

Help me to smile

When my eyes start to fill

Teach me to reach out

Your purpose, to fill

Work magic through me

Your words, let me speak

And teach those around me

Your comfort to seek

For you alone can heal us

With Grace so Devine

A plan only You know

Your majestic design.
