Grief & Comfort

Master...


My soul is crushed

My mind is crushed


The screams torment me

My scream torments me


What good is there in my existence?

Why have you saved me from my death?

When day after day

Your child only creates more destruction


You are a wonderful master

Your love knows no bounds


You care for me despite the things I've done

You patiently listen to my screams

Until my voice runs out


Master


My soul is tired

It is weak and small


There's no end to the storm

It only grows greater and greater


I try to learn from you

But fail, fail and fail


So I read your words over and over

Hoping to find wisdom


Hoping for a change


But the more I read, the more I am pained


For I knew I am poisonous even when I was blind

But I did not understand how damaging my poison was


As your words open my sight and you clear the storm

I now understand just how deadly my poisonous soul is


And how this soul has no strength to overcome it


Despair crushes me


I wish to hide


I wish to be alone


So no one will be tormented by my poison

For I do not know how to control it


I call for your name

Over and over


I cry in my sleep

Longing to hear your voice


Help me!

I plead


Save me! I beg


Why do you feel so far, Master?

Please, do not leave me!

Please! Do not say 'I don't know you'!


Please...

Have mercy on me


I am a terrible being

But I do not wish to be so


I wish to be like you

I wish to be with you





Master

Oh, sovereign master


You answered my call

You comforted me with your wisdom


My grief becomes gladness

For you have revealed the truth to this simple mind


You touched my poison

And turned it into medicine


You gave my weary soul food and drink

You provide me with abundance


Although I am small

Although I am weak

Although I'm merely an insignificant existence

To this little soul, you give riches


Not because of my accomplishments

But because of how great your love is for me


Truly...

You lead me to a life which I do not deserve

A life that reflects the magnificence of your pure love


It was my blindness which caused me to search for you

Thinking that you no longer care for me

Thinking that you've left me alone


But your hand pulled me

And you give me sight once more

Revealing the trap of our enemies I was walking into


Thank you, Master


For loving this wretched soul

And saving it from its own poison


Over and over and over


A new life you have given

A life for you this soul will dedicate

Even if I must fight my own poison till I bleed


Forever and ever


To the everlasting King
