(Fooled you, didn't I? You thought I was going to wax poetic again, didn't you?) I think I wrote this meaning for it to be lyrics. What say the musically gifted among you?
And Weep
When your world is crumbling where you stand
When you stumble and need a steady hand
When your burdens are too much for you to bear
When you are overwhelmed with worry and care
When you are wounded and your soul bleeds
When you're used up and empty and have need
When love seems hopelessly lost to you
When you think"Why bother; what's the use?"
His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep
When you're aching heart cries in the lonely night
When you think you won't make it to morning light
When your soul is screaming and no one hears
When your mind can't hide from all it's fears
His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His Keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep
Sometimes this world can be too much
Your weary soul longs for a Parent's touch
His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His Keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep
I got the phrase "Just lay your head down on your Father's chest and weep." from a book written by Nicole Johnson. The imagery that came to my mind was sitting on God's lap and just crying my eyes out and letting go of all my hurt, all my pain, all my confusion in those cathartic tears. And knowing that His loving arms are around me and that He has a big enough chest to absorb all of it, is most comforting, indeed.
