\"Here I sit, water all around\r\nNo help in site\r\nThe cries of the hurting abound\r\n\r\nAll I can see, for miles on end\r\nIs destruction, devastation\r\nAround every corner and bend\r\n\r\nI just can\'t believe it, my mind has gone blank,\r\nHow could this happen?\r\nThe entire city has sank!\r\n\r\nWhat did I do to deserve such a fate?\r\nTo be left out in the cold\r\nTo be left in such a state?\r\n\r\nI\'ve lost everything, all of it, not a penny to my name\r\nAnd I sit here alone, and wonder\r\n\'Is this just a game?\'\r\n\r\nHow could my Father in Heaven above,\r\nLeave me here in this agony\r\nWhere is His love?\r\n\r\nMy body is limp, my head to the floor\r\nI\'ve lost all hope\r\nI can\'t handle much more...\r\n\r\nWhat is that over there in the corner I see\r\nA glimmer of light\r\nShining right next to me\r\n\r\nIt\'s pointing at something, a piece of wood, maybe a book\r\nFloating over in the corner\r\nI think I\'ll go take a look...\r\n\r\nIt\'s wet, and heavy, a little torn on the cover\r\nbut it appears to be the Bible\r\nGiven to me by my Mother...\r\n\r\nI\'ll open it up and see what I find\r\nGod will you please tell me\r\nWhy I have been left behind?\r\n\r\nAm I really alone, left destitute in this place?\r\nWhere is Your help?\r\nWhere is Your Grace?\r\n\r\n\"My child, My child, put your hand in Mine\r\nDo you trust Me sweet child\r\nTo turn the water into wine?\r\n\r\n\"I love you so much, I want you to know\r\nThat when it seems hopeless\r\nMy care for you I\'ll show\r\n\r\n\"But you have to trust Me, give your life entirely to Me\r\nLet Me be your Provider\r\nProtector, and Healer, I\'ll be...\r\n\r\n\"The things of this earth will not go with you when you die\r\nLive your life for the treasures\r\nThat will last all eternity by\r\n\r\n\"Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness and Gentleness\r\nLet these be your clothing\r\nIn the midst of this mess\r\n\r\n\"As you draw near to Me, I\'ll draw near to you\r\nTo conform you to My image\r\nThat My love will shine through\r\n\r\n\"You\'re not abandoned, sweet child, I\'m here at all times\r\nWill you trust Me in this\r\nLet Me be your guide?\r\n\r\n\"I know what you need, where you are to go\r\nJust Trust Me my child\r\nUntil in My presence, you go...\r\n\r\n\"I love you so much, that I gave My life for you\r\nTo show you the depth\r\nOf My heart\'s concern for you...\r\n\r\n\"When I was on the cross, taking on your sins\r\nI felt alone and abandoned\r\nForsaken by Him\r\n\r\n\"But I rose from the dead, victorious and alive\r\nAnd so will you my child\r\nWith Me by your side....\r\n\r\nTrust Me, My child, Trust Me...\"
