When God Seems Distant

There on the storm I am learning to let go
The white wave's high, it's crashing o'er the deck
And I don't know where I go
Where are you Lord, is my ship going down?
The mast is gone so throw the anchor
Should I jump and try to swim to land?
I guess I am going through "the winter of the heart" as others call it. Lord, I am doing my very best to be happy in front of people. Inwardly I look, I only see emptiness not happiness. Lord, You said You would remain faithful forever and You would carry me through the toughest storms. I turn to You for comfort for only You understands. When I close my eyes, I can still feel Your great love despite my own feelings. I feel the rolling river and little storm rushing me by, I feel like I cannot stand still by myself anymore. Yet Your unchangeable love will calm the storm. I know that no matter what I feel, You are always there. Lord, pick me up and help me through. I can only rely on You! Hold my hand and don't let go!
