Rescue me Jesus

From the brokenness

From the hopelessness I feel

I feel black and crushed inside

Full of shame and guilt

And feelings I can’t describe

I don’t know where to go and

I don’t know what to do

So I cry out to you

Rescue me Jesus

You are my only hope

But I feel so far from you

I don’t know how to get back

I’ve tried many times to avoid this road

But it seems I always end up back here

Always lost, always broken, always unfixable

And I know you are the answer

And I know I can make it through today

But what about tomorrow?

The bleakness is unending and uncaring

And I don’t want to face it

So please You are my only hope

Hold me up Jesus

As I cannot stand on my own

Hold me and don’t let me go

For I need you

I need you to love me

To fill me up

To make me whole

And I can’t make it through today

Not without you

For you are my only hope

And I know you will rescue me

Happy 9th Anniversary Zachary!

For the one who said I do; I’ll love you always and forever

For the one who took my ring

Who gave me his name

Pledged his life and his love

To holding me when I cry and never giving up

I’ll love you always and forever

For the one who saves the day

By cooking dinner when I’m too tired

By reading ten labels just to find one I can eat

And always letting me pick the restaurant

I’ll love you always and forever

For the one who loves me beyond reason

When I don’t feel lovely

When I don’t act lovingly

And you forgive me all the same

I’ll love you always and forever

You calm my wayward emotions

You understand without me having to speak

You are the half that makes me whole

You are the one I’ll love

Always and forever more
