Lori Sealy - Song of the Afflicted

Описание: In the midst of my own personal period of "refining" I've just penned a new tune. It's a very honest one and one that I wrote in less than 30 minutes. I suppose it is truthfully a prayer in song. I have sought to be truthful in my attempt to describe how we sometimes feel in the middle of a storm as well as forthright in the declaration of the sure Foundation who lies behind each and every storm. I've drawn on my own personal thoughts and feelings, a section from Job chapter 23 as well as from Psalm 27. This is a very, very simple song but it is from my heart and I hope it will encourage yours if you are among the afflicted this day. Christian, He knows the way we take and when He has tried us we shall come forth as gold! Soli Deo Gloria.


All seeing God, do you see me?
All hearing Lord, where is your ear?
All-present Help in times of trouble
You seem so far from being near.
Father of Light, I walk in darkness.
Great God of Peace, the war is strong.
Rock of Ages, my sand has shifted.
I am so weak Lord, please be strong.
Untiring God, why do You slumber,
while I am tossed on stormy seas?
Please do not tarry any longer
In lovingkindness, turn to me.

I gaze ahead, I cant perceive Him.
I look behind, He is not there.
On my left, I dont behold Him.
Turn to my right, He is nowhere.
Though my weak eyes are dim and blinded,
Though my weak faith at times may fold,
He knows the way that I am traveling
and He shall bring me forth as gold.
He will perform what is appointed.
He will decree whateer I need.
Ill not be silenced in this darkness
nor by this gloom that covers me.


The Lords my light and my salvation.
Hes the defense of all my life.
Ill not be overcome by evil
but through Him overcome this strife.
One thing Ive asked of God my Maker;
One thing with all my heart Ill seek;
That I may dwell with Him forever;
That I may worship at His feet.
Teach me Your way, O Loving Father.
Lead me along your level ways.
Your goodness Ill behold in heaven
and I am waiting for that day,
patiently waiting for that day.
