Light and Momentary

Father God can we please have a talk
I'm struggling out here on this walk
I'm trying my best to live out your word
Follow your commands, let you be my shepherd
Love others as you love yourself you say
How's that work when I feel self-hate
Do others love me, does someone care
Life's got me overwhelmed, seems unfair

If this is light and momentary
Why is it so heavy, difficult, and scary
Jesus you said in this world there's trouble
Feels like my portion size is double
Is it me, is my faith defective
I need help, maybe some new perspective
So God please intervene, it's too much to carry

Months turned to years they tried to conceive
Through prayers and doctors they believed
One great day the test showed two lines
But three months later things weren't fine
Another couple their boy just a teen
Outside seemed fine, internal pain unseen
They tried everything, but he'd had enough
Now the wait till heaven is pretty rough

I know this is only for a season
But I could use a win
And some room for breathin'

If this is light and momentary
Why is it so heavy, difficult, and scary
Jesus you said in this world there's trouble
Feels like my portion size is double
Is it me, is my faith defective
I need help, maybe some new perspective
So God please intervene, it's too much to carry

If those who mourn are to be blessed
When's the end of this big mess
Lord I trust, trying not to stress
Doubting Thomas, I see likeness
Can't do it alone I confess
I'm out here signaling SOS

So God please intervene, it's too much to carry

The grips of cancer may get our friends
Financial stresses seem without end
The only harder thing we might go through
Is trying alone and without you
Jesus with you, my burden's light
Forgive me for when I try to solo fight
Count my blessings, I name them one by one
My soul is well even when life's no fun

When I consider your love, upon reflection
It gives my psalm a new direction

This life is light and momentary
With you not so heavy, difficult, and scary
Jesus you said in this world there's trouble
So I'll run to you on the double
I'll trust you, make my faith effective
Help me help others find some new perspective
So God please intervene, I trust you to carry
