Tired

So tired that I cannot think

My mind inside does shrink

I long for health’s good drink

To get me back in the pink

Weakness cuts like a knife

Fighting internal strife

A burden to my wife

Pain a daily part of life

Tears flow all from within

Payment for my own sin

Will I over this pain win

Or must I suffer and grin

Strength is falling out

Will God turn this about

My cries become a shout

Weakness grows with doubt

I wait Gods healing light

Renewal of my fading sight

Seeking for God’s delight

Pushing back my own fright

I look to see God’s true face

Completing this my own race

Finishing at a slower pace

Finishing only by Your Grace March 5, 2008
