Release it all to Christ

A chapter in the book Psalms for the Journey

Psalm of Release

by Rdfrdmom2



Lord, please forgive me
I’m stuck here in my tracks
can’t find hope for my future
‘cause I’m always looking back;
I’m still fighting demons
that You’ve already slayed
forgetting grace and mercy
You’ve constantly displayed
 
Lord, please come get me
I’m mired here in this muck
no energy for climbing out
this time I’m really stuck;
my life is so entangled
I scarcely read Your Word
nor listen to the praise songs
sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard
 
Lord, You’ve got to help me
before I lose my mind
it seems the more I try to do
the further I fall behind;
my thoughts are all a-jumbled
tiny puzzle pieces they may be
but there’s no pretty picture
to provide any clarity
 
Lord, please come and visit
while I’m here on bended knee
I know I have the answers
somewhere deep inside of me;
unlock the Holy Spirit
You put inside my heart
on the night I let You in
and begged You not depart
 
Lord, please grant me strength
to assist those who need me
please block them from ever knowing
just how weak I tend to be;
let them find a sense of hope
when they look deep in my eyes
may they catch a glimpse of You
as we raise hands to the skies
 
Lord, please forgive me
I have nothing left to give
pain constantly wracks my body
there’s no reason left to live;
You’ve given so many blessings
many more than I deserve
but, Lord, I’m really sorry
this life, I can’t preserve
 
Yes, Lord, that’s all I have
there’s nothing left to say
except thanks for always listening
whenever I come to pray;
do I have a minute
now that I’ve laid my soul quite bare
of course I do, my precious Lord,
what would you like to share?

This was written on my way to therapy as I was reflecting on the things I needed to discuss that afternoon. Before I knew it, this piece is what evolved. A special thanks to dlwagner for the use of "Stuck in the Mud" to enhance this work. Thanks for reading. love, jan
