Shipwrecked

My heart is a barren desert

Waiting for the rain

My soul is parched and thirsty

Fill me once again

My faith has become shipwrecked

Upon a barren shore

I need Living Water

To swell up once more

My mind has become cluttered

With worry and with strife

The peace that I once knew

Has drifted from my life

The emptiness within me

Echoes in my soul

I need a new infilling

Father, make me whole

Child, you’re not abandoned

I’ve never left your side

I’m forever faithful

In you I do abide

Be still and know my presence

Let love wash over you

You are seated in high places

Where all is made anew
