My tormentors greet me once more, Oh Lord.
Shame and guilt,
quilt me in their safety.
Anger and fear,
entrap me in their lies.
Pain and agony,
befriend me with deceit.
Apathy welcomes me,
as a warm friend.
Hurt falls in every tear.
How long will I be surrounded?
How long will I be trembling without protection?
How long until you free me from my prisoners?
Forgive me for caving in when I couldn't see You.
Forgive me for forgetting Your sweet name.
Search my heart and know it seeks Yours.
Forgiveness granted, I praise You.
Praise be to You for the goodness.
I see it glimmer in my despair and darkness.
I see it boldly weave through my captor's maze of tricks.
Praise be to You for joy in pain.
My hurt is so deep,
but in You I find a reason to sing.
Praise be to You for everlasting Love.
Such a Love redeems my brokenness.
It picks up the remnants of my shattered self.
It pieces them together with new life.
Oh, Adonai!
Free me. Forgive me. Love me.
About Me
- Tiff
- I'm a follower of God's law of love, or I try to be. I pray I'm not merely a speaker of His word, but a doer. I'm currently in nursing school. I want to work in the states some, but I'd love to take my experience and degree and work in an orphanage in Cambodia or at the Rapha House. I also serve in the United States Army (6 months left with this contract). I'm a combat MP for now, but when I extend my contract, I will reclass as a combat medic.
