Shattered Promises
A glance in the rear-view mirror screams
Dark alleys of accusation and crime
Blinded by a pulsating ache for recognition
Turning to anything to numb the pain
Don’t fear
You are not alone
I am with you
Trust me
Take the next step
Turn my darkness into light
Hold my hand along these unfamiliar paths
Overcome with sobs for love
Neglecting to turn to the one who fulfills
Don’t fear
You are mine
You are passing through rough waters
You will not drown
Grasp me tighter
The burn of shame and regret sear
You are precious to meThe heat of consequence glistens on my forehead
Forget the former thingsThe flames of failure rise higher
See, I’m making a way in the desertImmobilized by pride
Call upon meWeary with pain
You will find streams in your wastelandFear of failure
Your dark alleys will become smooth pathsBlinded by regret
Open your eyesPervasive potholes
I will walk with youEmpty longings
I will show you love like you’ve never known beforeSave me
For your sake I will rescue you.
Isaiah 43When You're Between a Rock and a Hard Place
1-4 But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One who got you started, Israel:
"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That's how much you mean to me!
That's how much I love you!
I'd sell off the whole world to get you back,
trade the creation just for you.
