I've been weary all my life
My bones ache and heave with a deep weariness
My blood thickens and blackens continually
Streams of sorrow through this decaying body
The weariness of life slams against this creaking and straining body
A sea of sorrow is where I drift
An uneasiness churns in the deep
My bow pivots where I would not go
How long will I captain this ship that is not mine
Trapped in the cabin I hide
Up and down and all I see is a vast emptiness
Sea of gray be my end for I see nothing beyond you
Swallow me into the churning depths
I am tired
Weary I am
Weary I will always be
I am weary with a deep weariness
I hang my hat on tomorrow's hook
I soar on wings like eagles
On promises I choose to rest
But I am weary just as I have always been
weary with a deep weariness
I hang my hat in a peaceful place
My eye's glaze over like a dead man's
My bones creak and strain
A light and warm hand rests on my shoulder
Abide in me and I will abide in you.
Revelation 3:20 NASB Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come to him and I will dine with him, and he with Me.
Isaiah 40:31 NIV but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Lately, I have been meditating on the word Abide during my time with God. It is lovely to reflect on how his presence is interwoven with my life. I think about all the ways God has shown himself to be faithful while I continue the process of preparing to go to Spain.
