Drip drop
A little rain

Drip drop
The pain still stays

Drip drop
I won't take it anymore

Drip drop
A rush of blood

Drip drop
I am no more

Don't give in to those thoughts

Those thoughts of hopelessness

Depression

Anxiety

Suicide

When You think you have nothing more to live for

Get up and fight

Tell the devil he can't have you

He can't have what you see as worthless and Jesus see's as precious

Cry out to Christ

When you don't feel his love

When you can't hear his voice

Don't stop crying out

Praise the name of the God who created you

He will open your eyes to show you all he's done

Sometimes to forge your heart

It takes a little fire

Be still and wait

Wait for the water of the Holy Spirit to wash over you

To cool you down

Don't let the fire melt you

Get up and fight

God doesn't create the fire

He might allow it because it serves his purpose

But never forget he loved you so  much he broke the laws of death for you

God sacrificed his only son for you

He didn't force Jesus into submission

Jesus loved you enough to be the sacrifice

When I can't get back up
When I'm drowning and I can't see the surface
When I'm broken
When I'm beaten
When I don't know why
When I can't see past the day
When I can't see past the knife
God please put me on my knees
Show me your peace
Show me your love
Father open my eyes to your grace
When I'm at my weakest screaming for help
Put me on my knees
Raise my hands
Fold my fingers
Push them to my forehead
Remind me to pray

A little girl, in her room
Playing with dolls, out of the way of all doom

The little girl, now a bit older
Carries little burden, she is sober
She runs around the house happily,
But one night, she doesn't sleep

The teen girl, still growing up
Thought she had it all figured out
Thought she would never be this stuck
But with all the sleepless nights,
And all the memories in her head
That little girl, will never be the same again.

The girl, eyes deprived of life
Lies in her room, in the dead of night
The blood rushes onto the carpet,
And onto the dolls
As the once little girl
Couldn't take it anymore

Dear Son

I hear you scream out of desperation

I see the pain you're going through

I hear your cries of terror

I know the suffering you went through

I watched as your father hit you

I watched as the bullies humiliated you

I saw knew your suffering the day you were left an orphan

I felt your tears run down your cheeks

Did you see?

Did you know?

Did you hear?

Did you watch?

Did you feel?

Did you hear the voice of the mother I gave you who comforted you?

Did you know the bullies stopped because I sent a friend to stand up for you?

Did you watch when I gave you son-ship in a loving home?

Did you feel the son-ship I granted you in my family?

Did you see the healing I provided?

Why then do you cry to me?

Why do you ask for what I already gave you?

I gave you my son?

What more could I have given to prove that I love you?

Be still

Look around at the blessings you have

Don't look at what you don't have

Be still

And know

That I am God

Dear Daughter

I saw the beatings you took

I watched as you were crying on the floor of your room

I saw them scream at you and abuse you

I heard you call my name

I felt the depression and brokenness you felt

I felt the pain you felt of a family who scorned you and treated you like a dog

Did you watch?

Did you see?

Did you hear?

Did you feel?

Did you watch as I sent the neighbor to come check on you?

Did you watch as she took you in and cared for you?

Did you see healing I provided through the comfort of your friends?

Did you hear the uncle who cried with you and tried to be the father he couldn't?

Did you feel the grace and mercy I gave you?

Did you feel my love?

You called and I came

I love you

All this I did for you

Open your eyes to what you have

Count your blessings

Be still

And know

That I am God
