The Slient Lamb

The Silent Lamb

As I sit to ponder
About my past 
And how I arrived in this moment
The enemy whispers broken memories
Anguish begins to simmer within
I bury my face in my hands
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

The pain
The shame
The regret
The disappointment
I glance up at the sky
Though the sun shines my spirit within is dim
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

I bring my hands to my side
Shake sense into myself
Tighten my jaw and stand
One step, two steps, I will press on
Counterfeit smiles to all who pass by
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

Starving for purpose
Thirsting for meaning
"I'm fine, how are you?"
Unmovable and steady 
Concrete on the surface
Ceramic and hollow within
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

Finally, I am home
Comfortably isolated without plastic smiles
I lay down on my stomach 
Hands hidden underneath
My mind will not stop
Paralyzed am I
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

I plead for my happiness to be tangible
For "I'm fine" to be the truth
Someone come along who understands
Someone with a plan greater
Providence for this pain
Meaning within the anguish
The weight of this broken world is heavy
It is far too much for me to begin to carry

There He is within Scripture's pages
The Silent Lamb who understands my affliction
He absorbed the world's wrath as it was poured
He absorbed these feelings of separation
Weighted down with the shame of the world
The weight of this broken world is heavy
But never too much for my Savior to carry
