Depression
Lord, my life is such a gift
Don’t let me miss out on it
You take me to the shadows of the darkness
And push me to take heart of a new me
One I don’t like
Press in me better decisions than yesterday
Bear with me every last escape
And never let me take the easy way out
Forgive me for my train of thoughts
Instill courage as I see the truth
Be in harmony with me
And charm me into a new conception
I need you more than ever right now
Today and tomorrow
Keep me strong
Refusal
I take from me the depth of despair
and force it into the air
Let it float as I now focus
On boats sailing in the seas
And let it be different this time with you and me
I know my care is fair to say in your hands
Lord grant me the strength to always do your will
And give me the power to blossom my flower of life.
Mercy
Lord you use me as a shield against satan
And i yield to your truth As it fills my youth
In such harmony Are my ways So pure
Always regarding My years to come
You offer me righteousness With your son
Let it be your will I am won
With every word In my mind
So as to find What blesses me so
Is my will And let it shine Through my days
As you bind Me to your word
Use me and give me glory
I seek you And my heart is only
A part of my Sun that offers rays
And shines through All my ways
In your days With me
Give me Your mercy
Lord, take from me thoughts that don’t become me
Help me say every nice thing I think
And call me to be someone encouraging again
So many nights I lay awake in worry
Help me stay proper in you
And wash away my fears
Ups and downs
Lord, you kiss my forehead
And I shed my fears
So much love you offer me
Always hovering over me Are your angels
So many angles play into my picture of life
Let me take a moment to day thank you
For the ups and downs of life
And let them play into what is right about me
Resilience
Lord, show me that through this depression is the mold
that holds it’s passion to a new level
And resist in me anger that so often succeeds
Bless me and lead me in to the depth of success
Lord, you bother me with what stares at me in the dark
So black today as I pay homage to what abuses me
Let me start my day over,
And don’t give me a cold shoulder
Begin in me gladness
And wipe clean my despair
Make me new
It’s true I’m in satisfaction with you
