A psalm I wrote
His Mighty Hand


I cried to you, O Lord, and I heard only silence.
I wept on my bed as my world fell apart.
I thought I had lost you inside my own darkness.

O Lord, I feel the power of your almighty hands,
and I know you will give me the strength to stand.

"Why, O Lord, must I wait so long?"
My tears soaked my pillow, but I found no relief.
I groaned and my heart ached, but there was no peace.

O Lord, I feel the power of your almighty hands,
and I know you will give me the strength to stand.

The darkness was agony, and I moaned in my grief.
I begged for your mercy, but felt so much pain.
My eyes were swollen from a million spent tears.

Hallelujah! You stretched out your powerful hand.
O Lord, you gave me the strength to stand.

Lord, increase my faith and keep me close,
For I know how fragile a soul can be.
Shine your light on me and swallow the night.

Hallelujah! You stretched out your powerful hand.
O Lord, you gave me the strength to stand.
