Lost Faith

Sometimes we feel like all is lost
Our faith in me is gone
Too many challenges, too many tragedies
Too many roads running in circles

Sometimes that lingering pain
That feeling of hopelessness
Seems too strong, too menacing
A battle that can't be won

The strength we had has failed
The confidence has diminished
We grow tired of trying
We come to the point of giving up

We've tried to do right
We've tried to have faith
We take a step forward
Then two steps back

We need things to be better
We need the healing to come
The tragedies deep inside
And of those loved ones we hurt for

But the sadness is too strong
The hope is lost
The faith we had in me and the world
Seems all but gone

Then we hear that still small voice
"Come unto me, all you that labor
And are heavy laden
And I will give you rest"

We want to believe
We want to find rest
But our faith is week
And our heart is broken

We hear again
In your weakness I am strong
So we try to let go
We try to let God

Life becomes a circle of ups and downs
Sometimes our emotions get the best of us
It's hard to see through the gloom and doom
That light in the midst that guides our way

To find the answer of faith
Not of ourselves
But faith in God
And his purpose in all things

So we sit silently waiting
Letting go of the doubt and fear
The pain and sadness
The emotions that hold us back

And we hear again, that still small voice
"Come unto me, all you that labor
And are heavy laden
And I will give you rest"
