Special Child

When you're days are too heavy to carry. When you feel you're all alone. When you feel and think that no one could possibly understand. Carry these words with you; from someone who has been in the pit.

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, nor chasten me with Your hot displeasure! For Your arrows pierce me deeply, and Your hand presses me down. There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin. For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness. I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You. My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me. My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my relatives stand afar off. Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and plan deception all the day long. But I, like a deaf man, don not hear; and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. Thus I am like a man whol does not hear, and in whose mouth is no response. For in You, O Lord, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God. For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me." For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin. Those also who render evil for good, they are my adversaries, because I follow what is good. Don not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
