Deep Pressure
Down I go, below the
Water falls and sea,
Can it be? This is
The end of my rope...
No hope for someone
Like me, trying to untangle
Herself, when life pulls me
Down deep, deep into despair-
Calling to God, Is He there?
Does He care about me?
See, all this water under
My feet and hair-Where is
The Hero that cuts the rope
To the rock tied to my ankles?
Sinking slowly, silently, swiftly
Into the unknown black and blue.
Still calling for God...Where are you?
I turn back, I remember, You were
The One Who always rescued me
In the past-I remember how it
Used to be before I got here,
I think You left me-
Or did I leave You?
I don't see how, Now
I'm lost, confused and still
Struggling with this pressure
On my chest, I confess, it's hard
To breathe under this mess...
Bubbles rise above my stress as
Life flashes by, scene after scene.
Like a nice dream turned nightmare-
I'm scared! I'm dying! Screaming
And crying, asking God, "Where are You?"
