Conceived in trouble
Brought forth in pain
Delivered in hope
Reared in faith
Consumed by despair
No comfort found
Life seemed hopeless
But You were there all the time
Where could I turn?
But You were there all the time
How many times, O Lord?
How many times have You shown me
And I closed my eyes
How many times have You called
But I stopped my ears
You’ve surrounded me; You’ve hemmed me in
But I shook You off; I chased my sin
I groped in darkness unable to win
You offered grace again and again
Prayer was lifted
The answer was, “Yes”
Come alive in me
- Written in confinement.
- No explanation.
- No defense.
- Just truth.
