Broken and Blessed

I know with just a word
You could calm this storm for me.
Yet for reasons not understood
You’ve not finished this work in me.

I fully trust your knowledge
Your greatest plans at hand.
I just hate the pain and suffering
I’m such a broken man.

Jesus, how did you do it?
You gave up your life for me.
I can’t fathom all the anguish
As you hung upon that tree.

Your soul was overwhelmed
You wished that cup would pass
You still surrendered all
You knew it was God’s path.

I wonder about my future
How long this strife will last.
I know because of your sacrifice
One day all pain will pass

But until that day comes Lord
Be my rock and be my shield
Help me follow you courageously
As I seek to always yield.
