I'm Not The Only One

So often recently, I have lay awake crying
Nothing has yet come to pass, it’s like my dreams are dying
I know I really love the Lord, but the light has been so dim

Nothing has yet come to pass, it's like my dreams are dying
I know I really love the Lord, but the light has been so dim
I feel I need that touch of strength, that directly comes from Him

But, I'm not the only one…

So much hurt has come upon me, my problems are so vast
More troubles rising in my life, each one greater than the last
Lately, it seems my earnest prayers do not change a thing
My Lord!... it's been so long since I've heard my heart's joy sing

But, I'm not the only one…

"Just be strong my child, and hold to God's unchanging hand!"
That's all the preacher could say to me… cause he couldn't understand
It's hard for me to explain my pain, and very few seem to know
that the "required Christian smile" on my face, is sometimes just a show

But, I'm not the only one…

I'm not the only one for whom life right now is hard
I'm not the only one whose heart has grown battle scarred
I'm not the only child of God who feels so cast away
I know I'm not the only one who finds it hard to pray

I am not the only one in the dark and all confused
I am not the only one who feels they've been refused
I am not the only one who is truly feeling blue
There's Job, Jeremiah, Joseph in the pit… and maybe even you!

But, let me tell you…

I'm also not the only one whose faith can't be destroyed
I will not renounce my hope in Him, even though I feel this void
I believe that in my darkest night, at some point, will rise the Son
And that same break of day is coming your way…

Cause I won't be the only one!mes from Him

For the Lord will not cast off forever: but though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.
Lamentations 3:31-32
