There’s emptiness in my being
Hollowness in my soul.
All the things I tried and failed
Are taking a mighty toll.
I always start with a good plan
One that guarantees great success.
But when the final curtains falls
It lies there in a mess.
Disappointment fills me up
With tears about to fall.
No one to share this space with me,
Do I exist at all?
It is my sinful nature
That has brought me to this place.
It weaves its spell around me
Brings me down in great disgrace.
I think that all that is gone
Is not because my Father’s mean.
But because I can’t fathom out
What is real and what’s a dream.
With much fear I want to run
Yet I must hide inside.
I have dealt a crushing blow
To my weakened pride.
So this is my punishment
Just silence all around.
All I see is horizon
As I sit here on the ground.
I guess if you are living
In mean spirit and with hate.
When you get to heaven
There is a lock upon the gate.
So is this my fortune
To live here all alone?
In this darkness will I find the key
To finally take me home?
Some people think I’m crazy
‘Cause I’m listening for this voice.
It will guide me through my life
I’ll listen; that’s my choice.
A quietness filled the room
Of not a sound was I aware.
A warmth came all around me
I felt Jesus there!
He said, “You’re not alone
I’ve always waited here.
With Me comes the heavenly hosts
So see how many care?”
Now I sit here in my quiet room
Peace seeps into my soul.
Alone I lived just half a life
With God I’ll live one whole.
Would you ask Him into your life…?
