Weary One 04:41
Weary one, Chased by another fading sun, Faced by the toil to be done, Why don’t you come? Fainting heart, Losing the soul of who you are, Searching for peace that feels so far, Come as you are. Come to the waters, thirsty and weak; Come to the Savior, sit down and eat; Drink from His mercy, take of His love; He is enough. Grieving friend, Whose heart is torn and will not mend And you just can’t seem to reach the end, You’ll sing again. Drink up, rest deep; He knows, He sees. Find hope, find peace; Look up, be free.

What can I do with these hopeless days? The swirling questioning in every way The dreary doubts are chasing faith away What can I do with hopeless days? What can I do with these joyless days? The gloom descending and I can’t escape And all that’s good is painted muted grey What can I do with joyless days? But You will never leave Your truth, it helps me see And in the agony You help me breathe Help me breathe What can I do with these painful days? The sadness suffocates each gasp of grace The hollow weight I feel behind my face What can I do with painful days? But You will never leave Your truth, it helps me see And in the agony You help me breathe Help me breathe

Rest in Jesus, lonely heart; Know His love and feel Him fill Every deep and longing part Of the aching void you feel. Sweeter than the things You lack, Truer than the trust you knew, Stronger than this pain’s attack Is the Savior’s love for you. He bore every grief you bear, Felt the pain of loss in full, Suffered death and drank despair– Torn apart to make you whole. To the Father’s will He yields Knowing dawn would surely come– Rising over shadowed fields Streams of liquid golden sun. Morning’s light will soon be found Though this darkness falls with force; Earth is simply turnin’ ‘round, On its axle, on its course. So friend, lift up your weary head And fix your gaze on what’s to come– Everlasting joys ahead, Sure as this here rising sun.

Come near, restless heart; Find peace without fear. Your God has not failed And He’s brought you here. Each undone endeavor And turn on the way Is perfectly placed In the pathway He lays. Your past is unclear And present plans few, But Your Guide is good And His Word is true. Your failures are covered And sins are erased, For Jesus has clothed you In mercy and grace. Come near, restless heart; Find peace without fear. Your God has not failed And He’s brought you here.

Immanuel 03:38
This season’s glow and cheer Casts sorrow’s shadow near; A biting word, a vacant stare, A broken vow, an empty chair– Can God be with us here? The Dawn, He came so fair To banish death’s despair; A promise kept, a baby born, A sinless life, a Savior torn– Could God be with us there? Immanuel, Immanuel Has come with us to dwell The cup of wrath run dry, God’s justice satisfied; An empty tomb, a curse reversed, A reigning King, a grace dispersed– Our God is with His Bride. Immanuel, Immanuel Has come with us to dwell This brokenness you fear Holds treasures yet unclear; A glorious aim, a Spirit’s care, A present help, a strength to bear– Our God is with us here. Immanuel, Immanuel Has come with us to dwell

Out of the depths of silent night, Immanuel, come hear our cry; Our grief is strong, our burdens great, The night is long and hope is faint. You came to set the captives free, A Morning Star of joy and peace; Why does this darkness feel so deep? Why can’t our weary spirits see Glory, glory Glory in the darkest place Glory, glory Glory, let Your mercy reign Out of the depths of silent night– A Savior born, a mother’s sigh; The darkness trembled at this Star, A beam of hope for troubled hearts. You came to make Your blessings known And bear our curse of death alone; You came to share our suffering So in our sorrow we could sing, Glory, glory Glory in the darkest place Glory, glory Glory, let Your mercy reign

Amidst the deepest heartache I have ever known, I know that You are working out Your plan; And though I have no clue of what tomorrow holds, I know You hold each moment in Your hand. Although my circumstances whisper hopelessness, With You I’ll never be without a hope; And as I trust in You to keep Your promises The measure of Your pow’r I’ll come to know. So, I will follow You through this wilderness And stay near You in the barren land I will drink my fill from Your streams Streams in the desert Your Word proclaims the truth that answers every doubt: You knew my name before the world began, You proved Your love by giving up Your only Son, Your faithful love will keep me to the end. So, I will follow You through this wilderness And stay near You in the barren land I will drink my fill from Your streams Streams in the desert And one day soon You’ll break away the final cord That binds me to this fleeting world of dust; These shadows I am living in will disappear, I’ll finally see the Savior whom I trust. So, I will follow You through this wilderness And stay near You in the barren land I will drink my fill from Your streams Streams in the desert

He Answers 04:09
Do thoughts of a meager God meet you? Does heaven seem silent as stone? Do you think He’s not very willing To bless and to give to His own? It may not be quickly or clearly Or evident now to our sight, But in hidden riches of wisdom He fashions His gifts with delight. According to infinite mercy According to infinite grace According to infinite wisdom He answers the prayers we pray If only you knew what great blessings He forms in the clouds up above To pour down on us in good season And lavish on us in His love! And though we cannot see His working, He says we need only believe And look through the lens of His promise To see the great glory He weaves. According to infinite mercy According to infinite grace According to infinite wisdom He answers the prayers we pray So trust Him, my friend, in the waiting And sing through this season of pain; He gave up His life for your freedom And He’ll bring you home for His name. According to infinite mercy According to infinite grace According to infinite wisdom He answers the prayers we pray He'll answer the prayers you pray.

about

What do you sing when you have no words?
When you’re afraid to voice the questions that silently churn in your heart?
When sorrow steals coherent thought and leaves an unbearable weight of pain?
When hope is like wind that you cannot grasp, and deep joy is a fading memory?

In the darkness of night, in the garden of Gethsemane, our Savior sang a song of glory. One of struggle and surrender, pain and trust. He teaches His people how to sing in the darkness and the hollow and the confusion. He is worthy of hope in the midst of perplexing and unwanted longing.

These 8 songs were written for those struggling to find words to sing. I pray they are a blessing. I pray they help you find glory, even in the darkest place.
