Jeremiah 17:14

I have traveled so far,
still I return
to this place where I once began,
this land of degradation and pain,
where darkness and silence
live hand in hand;

I have traveled so far,
yet have I gone nowhere?

Deliver me O LORD,
do not give me more
than my broken spirit can bear,
do not leave me here
to face the enemy
I could never overcome alone.

In You will I place my trust,
in You will I seek my hope,
in You will I find my salvation,
in You will I enter my rest.

Touch me that I might be healed,
test me that I may be confirmed,
turn me from paths
that do not lead to You,
teach me how to walk in Your light.

For if You heal me O LORD,
I will be healed;
if You save me,
I will be saved;

for you are the One I praise.
