My soul is vexed within me, How I want
to shed a tear
For such has been my custom ere when
in sin I was still living
How hard it is, to let go of old habits
How I want to shed a tear, for in this found I my acute comfort ere I heard the Voice
King David found his in the holy Word,
I try to follow after this, but I still find the need to shed a tear
I find I’m filled with anxiety, I don’t want to wait on the Rock
I want to shed a tear, and how else can I, than to conclude that it is not well
But if I would believe His promises, then I’d gleefully await for provision
I would not exert outstanding pity upon mine-self
Pity that whispers ; Poor you, you’re so miserable and alone
Pity that deceives me into believing no one cares, and no one around me suffers as much
How deadly self-pity is, how cruel and depressible
If only it was easy to let go of old sticky habits
Nonetheless, in birth, there is no ease, but pain
I must go through this, to be born anew!

“Beautiful one, forsake those tears
Which you display to your false fears.
They all shall fall like needless rain
Because your sorrow is in vain.
I have made you, by My design,
A light to emulate and shine;
A priceless gem before My eyes,
So do not heed the world's harsh lies.
Gather them up, give them to Me,
And I will keep you safe and free.
Free of the self-doubt prowling inside,
And safe from the rage of wounded
pride.
Oh hear Me now, and do not grieve,
My words are all you should believe.
I am the light, the truth, the way!
Listen, dear one, to what I say:
I have made each morning new,
And I will always be with you;
Your name is written on My heart,
And you are blessed and set apart.
Abide in Me, for I'm in you,
And witness what your Lord will do!
My love will come upon sunrise,
And night will fall on all their
lies”- Jeff Bidman
