words would hardly do

tonight has just been really hard for me. God is breaking off so many things in me and it is absolutely awful-feeling. trust sounds so easy, but isn't at all. so i was just in my room lying on my bed and crying out to the Lord to come and be with me, to come comfort me, to come love me like nobody else can. and he began to give me his word. i began to find hope. and then he began to give me a song, one that i've never heard, one that i don't even know if it's finished yet. so here's the verses that strengthened me and really spoke. and then the song.


As the deer pants for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I come and stand before him?
Day and night, I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
"Where is this God of yours?"
My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God,
singing for joy and giving thanks- it was the sound of a great celebration!
Why am I so discouraged?
Why so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again- my savior and my God!
Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember your kindness-
from Mount Hermon, the source of the Jordan, from the land of Mount Mizar.
I hear the tumult of the raging seas was your waves and surging tides sweep over me.
Through each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through the night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life.
"O God my rock," I cry,
"Why have you forsaken me? Why must I wander in darkness, oppressed by my enemies?"
Their taunts pierce me like a fatal wound.
They scoff "Where is this God of yours?"
Why am I so discouraged?
Why so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again- my savior and my God!
-Psalm 42


O, Lord my sadness is as great as the mountains in the distance
These tendrils of pain are as long as the day
When will the anguish in my heart cease to be?
But I will trust in the Lord.
I will set my eyes upon his glory and my feet upon his path.
I delight in your promises, I glorify your deeds.
Behold! The Lord God comes riding upon mountains of pain.
He comes with healing, and with comfort.
Here comes The Almighty, the rescue that has been promised.
