Hopeless and Alone

Jesus, you are my guide
I have questions that need answers
I feel that you left my side
Where are you
I lost you
Come to my rescue
I’m sinking in this ocean of corruption
I stand firm
I do not compromise my ship
The more I fight the winds
The deeper into the abyss I sail
Sharks surround me
Waiting for me to drown
I don’t want to sink, I refuse
But there is a leak
Lord, take me to safety
I don’t know how much longer I can hold
Before they attack again
I feel them tipping my ship
I’m really not scared, just confused
Tell me Lord, what direction to sail
I want to see land again
