I was a freshman in college during this Spring of my life. I had just met the person who would be my first love in life. I was a jumbled up mess. Having grown up in the Baptist Faith, I had deep roots in religion. The conflicts that started that Spring grew to be ferocious 8 years later when I would finally acknowledge and admit to them. In the meanwhile, I faced an internal struggle with my emotions - and trying to reach out to the only thing I knew for comfort. This actually has a tune - it is a real song that I still sing to myself sometimes - but only verse 1 and the chorus. Verses 2 and 3 do not quite fit the melody I created! At some point maybe I will put the melody to paper (and add a section on the blog called Songs!)
The Song in My Heart by Angela Wilcox, 1984
Sometimes when things around me,
Get too difficult to bear,
I find myself looking inward,
And forget that you are there.
Chorus
Lord, help me to look to you,
and depend upon you in my need.
For you'll always be there,
Willing to hear every prayer...
...Lord I want to depend on you.
I strive to do well on my own,
Til my body is tired and weak.
And then I realize no success will I gain
Until you I finally seek.
People around try to comfort and cheer,
For my face often shows how I'm feeling.
But I know that from you I can get all I need,
For my Peace and my Joy you will be.
