Dark clouds hover over my mind
Peace, solace I cannot find
The world all around me has been so unkind
It seems the darkness has left me behind
To rot in the dust they left me
It clogs my lungs and blinds my eyes, so I cannot see
I'm choking on the air I was once allowed to breathe
And as I gasp and heave
Reaching desperately for air to receive
My lungs begin to fail
The darkness seems to prevail
The dust storm is beginning to win
I'm drowning in my storm of sin
Suffocating, gasping, drowning
In my chest I can feel my heart pounding
I scream with all my might
The last once I have to fight
"Jesus, help me!"
My cry, my plea
Sent out to my Savior in the time of my need
Will He hear me?
Will He see?
Will He rescue me?
I have to trust
By now, it's a must
Considering I have no other choice
For I've lost my voice
Choking, gasping, hoping
Choking, gasping, losing hope
Until I see Him, a silhouette in the sand
And it starts to calm at the instruction of His hand
As He walks through, mighty and tall
He answered my distress call
But my vision is fading ever still
Surely this is God's will?
Even if my lungs fail and I die
He knows why
I shouldn't worry if my death is nigh
I'm fading slowly
As my Savior comes, righteous and holy
And He picks me up, carries me in His arms
And in my mind, alarms
Of worry take control
Will death take its toll
I cough and ask, "Will I survive?
I have once thrived
But has my time come?
Is my life done?"
He meets my gaze
His eyes clouded with a sad haze
"My child, you worry to much,
But just as such
Worry not about what you do not know
Trust is what you should show
And simply let go.
And if you're caught in a storm
Call out to Me and I'll carry you in My arms
I'll take you to safety.
For now, please be assured, at peace, and see
At least you have this moment with Me."
Hey there! I am someone who tends to worry quite a bit, but not as much as I used to. Jesus totally changed me and made me a calmer, more peaceful person. This poem is about getting caught up in the storms of life and sin and worry and at the end, when Jesus tells the person "For now, please be assured, at peace, and see at least you have this moment with Me" is basically what Jesus tells me when I worry and stress about the future. When I pray to Him at night and I get stressed, He's always there to tell me "you have this moment with Me, relax and be at peace." That's truly the only thing you can be sure of. God bless! Maranatha!
