When we are stuck, in the mud


When we are anchored in our worries
lost in this broken world
unable to know what to do
not knowing where to turn

When we cry out to God
in the depths of our sorrow
lost in this darkened world
wanting peace, comfort

God rains down on us
watering us richly with love
growth where we are planted
anchored in this world

God finds us there
when we are stuck, confused
unable to fix ourselves
needing his holy word

God gives us hope, salvation
when we turn from our old path
new life in his forgiveness
in Christ, his gift to the world
