Am I Alone?

Written on July 16, 2000. This song was written in a time when I felt I was very much alone fighting the spiritual battle. The darkness was overwhelming, and I could find few people to stand with me. I found myself wandering away from the throne. It was one of those times that I think all Christians go through when we wonder if God is really there and if He's really worth standing for. I have my times of doubt, but I can say without reservation that God is real and His life is the only thing worth standing for.

My world is shattered
And the sky is caving in
I can't help but show my insecurity
My knees meet the floor
Like so many times before
And I ask God to rescue me

Chorus:
But dear God, are You really there?
Sometimes I feel so alone
Night falls and deals this broken body
Just one more crushing blow
Feels like I'm fighting a losing battle
Against this darkness on my own;
I need you to calm this stormy sea
Dear Jesus, this my plea

Storm clouds rolling in
My future's looking dim
I need You now to light my way
Yeah, I'm back here again
Sum result of my own sin
Once more, I'm the sheep that's gone astray

Chorus

Closing:
But I know You'd never leave me
No, You've never moved at all
I've wandered away on my own
And I'm so far from Your throne
I feel so alone...but I'm not alone.

Back to Songs.
