Lord, the hurt runs so deep

There are times in life when we feel we must give up.
Those are the times we let our precious Jesus carry us and gently fill our cup.
An ounce of strength is just not there.
This is when we must trust and know how much our Savior really does care.
This is when many get mad at God and just pull away.
It's easy to just say 'God, You don't care' and just begin to stray.
We don't realize God's heart is hurt more by leading us through this pain.
Holding on tighter is the key, rest assured God will wipe away every stain.
Why me God? Why does this have to happen to me?
I know behind this cloud of doubt - You hold the light and someday I will finally see.
Point me in the direction Lord - show me the road You want me to take.
Write upon my heart and Your claim I will surely stake.
Light my path with Your glourious desire.
Set my feet firm and fill my heart with fire.
Your Glory I will proclaim.
And I will do nothing to put out this flame.
Give me the people You choose for me to touch.
Teach me Your prayers and how to love them so very much.
Silver is only pure after it has been put through the fire.
But even in the fire, the path to You is the one I desire.
I've come to know - if my love for You grows even in the pain,
I'll come through this fire and You will wipe away every stain.
You were beside Daniel in the Lion's Den - I know You are by my side
And this battle we will surely win.
My thoughts now turn to building up my crowns.
All I ask is to help me through my battle without a frown.
Give me the strength not to say Lord 'Why Me?'
Just guide me to others that I may help to set free..
