Powerless

I’m powerless to stop this.
I’m hopeless and
I feel so alone.
I’m powerless against this
And there’s nothing I can do,
But in the very heart,
In the midst
Of all this mess,
I’m trying to believe
That God’s got my back.
I’m trying to believe
That God’s holding me
In His arms
And that He’s not ever
Going to let me go.
In the midst of all this
Hurt and pain and sorrow,
I need to believe
That God will
Carry me through this,
And that I’m stronger
Than I think.
I need to believe
That God will help me
Through this darkness
And dry my tears
And help this
Struggling girl
Through these dark times
In her life.
I have to believe
That God will see me
Through the night,
Or else I’ll lose all hope
And I’ll never make it.
I have to believe
That all of these
Open wounds
Will heal in time.
I need to believe
That there will be peace
And that God will see me
Through to the time
When the sun finally breaks
Through these dark storm clouds.
