Cry for Help

Cry for Help

Dreary, drab day pressing in on me
until like gray, gloomy clouds filled
to saturation, my tears overflow.
I silently scream for help
That never seems to come.

A tiny ray of sunshine would lift
the load of sorrow that threatens
to swamp my sorrowing soul.
Oh, for the storm to part enough
to let that ray shine on me.

Help me, please help me withstand
this heavy, bloated burden
pressing on my weary mind.
Please give me relief that
only You have ever brought.

Wrap me in Your comfort,
wrap me in Your love
until I can stand and watch
the sunrise break the day
with joy and thanksgiving once more.
