Not Quite How We Thought

What Have I Done?

Have I forgotten my first love the one who stretched out His hand and pulled me up from the darkness?
Have I forgotten how You held me so gently and whispered promises in my ear?
Did I loose my trust in You?
Did I think that You had abandoned me?
Did I doubt Your love for me?
Did I let go of the wonders You had promised?
Did I turn my back on You, keeping you at a close distance as a security blanket?
Did I hold my fear and demand control?
Did I carelessly cheat on you while You stood weeping?
Was I offended because Your ways are not mine?
Did I stop fighting with You and start fighting You instead?
Did I forget Your love, the tender kisses, did I have an affair with the world?
Did I loose interest and decide that love is too hard?
Did I hurt You?
Did I make you cry as I held onto my pain so tight?
Will you again lift this wretch up off the ground?
You where sent to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair. (Isaiah 61:1-3 rephrased)
I will wait for You.
