Overflowing Cup

So tired of this life Lord, let me just give up Take away the pain Empty out my cup The anguish of my soul Still pent up deep inside Holding back a flood of tears I’m not allowed to cry Human weakness overcomes me I’m blinded by emotion Drowning in the unknown Life, a tumultuous ocean My face, a smiling facade Betraying what’s within My heart, broken from disappointment Fighting a battle I can’t win Help, my only hope The same today, yesterday, tomorrow Don’t let the light inside me Wash away in a wave of sorrow My clinging faith so frail My courage all used up But I believe, I trust, I wait For one day… When He’ll overflow my cup Amanda Dieppa 3/3/04
