Deep Waters

Posted on by Marla

Looking out over the dark, murky, water
Fear grips the heart,
What will it take?
Terror whispers of things that lie beneath this unfamiliar lake
Moonless, starless night, clouds cloak the sky
Trouble brought me here…
I lift these ores and sigh…
One does not simply end up in this place
World’s unknown and miles of life, wrinkles upon my brow, doth trace
Step after step, I’ve run the runner’s race…
Mistakes, no lessons not learned, kept me in confusions grip
Has despair given way to grace, while upon my tears I sip?
Rowing on life’s waterway…seeking, wanting, and needing to pray…
I see a ray of Hope…
The clouds separate and light from the moon doth shine…
Someone is calling my name…
Beloved, when you pass through deep waters, I will be with you…
These waters I have come to know, deep and dark and full of sorrow
All subside when I realize; God abides…
There in the distance, the darkness lifts
God speaks and time doth shift…
I am not alone…
Time has come and time has gone
Deep waters become shallow, terrors disappear
Faith, has taken over, and I am set free from fear…
Life and hope and joy and peace fill the atmosphere…
No more deep waters…no more tears…
I’ve passed through the deep waters…
God called to me, I am here…

When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you…Isaiah 43:2

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
