No matter how much we love the Lord, and how much we desire to walk with Him each and every day, there are times when even the best of us have times of doubt and fear. This is a poem born out of those feelings which I have been experiencing a lot lately, and they truly come from the depths of my heart. My one and only desire is to do the Lord's will, but at the moment I am finding that increasingly difficult, and I am sure I am not the only one.

COME, MIGHTY LION OF JUDAH

Come, mighty Lion of Judah,
And vanquish all my foes,
For I am tired and weary,
And my lack of power shows.

My body daily grows more weak,
And I'm wracked with sickness and pain,
And all my heart desires, Lord,
Is to be completely whole again.

My mind is filled with angry thoughts,
And my heart cries out "Why me?"
I long for you to touch me, Lord,
And to set my spirit free.

I find it so hard to cope, dear Lord<
And nobody seems to care,
And when I try to pray to You<
I sometimes doubt You're even there.

You promised You would guide me, Lord,
And that You would always be near,
So why is it that I feel this way,
And why am I filled with so much fear?

So, dear Lord, if You are really there,
And You are really in control,
Please take away these fears and doubts –
Please touch me and make me whole.

Please fill my heart with joy and peace
And reach out to me right now,
For I only want to be with You,
So, please, will You show me how?

You say that You are in control,
And that I can always trust in You,
So, please, mighty Lion of Judah,
Come and show me what to do?
