This Season

I've had many a sleepless night
Thinking about this situation
Can it be fixed come morning light
Or will I remain in pained anticipation?

I never thought that this would happen
I've stopped in my tracks, now You've got my attention
I've never been in this place before
I'm speechless, now I'm free to hear Your voice Lord
The pain brings me to my knees
Now I bow before You Jesus

This wall of despair that I feel
Opens old wounds, it won't let them heal
But my God I will trust in You
By Your grace I know You'll see me through

This season is so hard
The road is at times so dark
But the sunrise reminds me
Your mercies are new every morning
Still my heart
Don't let me fall apart
Lord I need You to guide me
As I walk to where You are
