Invincible
Some days, I feel lost and alone,
Like the brightest star has fallen, leaving
A deep, dark hole inside of me
Some days, I feel such doubt and despair,
Like the dried flower who lingers on the stem
Miserable, withering, desperate for relief
Some days, I feel weary and bleak,
Like the morning sun has gone behind a cloud
Leaving me with only the silence of regret
Some days, I feel desolate and glum,
Like the excitement of my dreams have dimmed
Black and murky, falling into the pit of dread
Some days, I feel dismal and joyless,
Like the whisper of light sparkling inside of me
Is shadowed beneath fear and anxiety
Some days, I feel like just giving up,
Like my heart and soul have been quieted
By the misery that has become a part of me
It is on those days, though… when I can’t
Even find the words to say, to pray
That I look up – and scan the horizon, the skies
For the trembling caress of One who knows me
Better than I know myself, for the One
Who inspires me to let go of my selfishness
And listen to the voice of His tenderness,
His promise that He is always with me, always
There to give to me – empathy, sympathy,
The wonder of a love that is so intimate…
It feels like He is – and, yes, oh yes, HE IS
Living within me – healing me, stirring hope in me
Because I know this light, this love, this SON
Who is more alive than anyone….
Some days, I feel like I am strong enough
To face whatever might come, with the confidence
That only the Savior of the world could bring to me!
Because of HIM – Some days, I feel invincible!
