I knelt before Your throne of grace,
laid down my supplications at your Feet.
But You answered me with silence
And hid Your face from me
Have You forsaken me Lord?
Abandoned me in my time of need?
Have I become the ninety-nine
that You left behind?
For who will comfort me if not You?
Can men sooth the pain of my aching soul?
Can the enemy whisper truth to my heart?
Can the world give me unshakeable peace?
Who will come to my rescue if not You?
Can men make ways through dead ends?
Can the enemy guide me through the valley?
Can the world make its own walls to fall?
Or should I look to me for help?
But how can I save myself?
What can I do in my own strength?
Can I make the air that gives me life?
Can I make my heart beat in my chest?
Can I add an inch to my stature?
Or even grow a hair on my head?
O what powers do I have
Compared to the great I AM?
What can I do without You?
What can I build of my hands,
that will last without Your strength?
How can I direct my feet
to avoid traps without Your counsel?
Speak to me now Lord
Shine Your face upon me
For Your voice is louder than my cries
Your presence is greater than my fear
Save me as only You can
Lift me up to stand again
Uphold me with Your righteous hand
And take me to Your glorious victory
