When depression hits
Everything seems bigger
The dark gets darker
The night gets longer
The house seems messier
The World looks scarier
And my life feels lonelier
A molehill becomes a mountain
One I don’t much feel like climbing
My body feels weary
The burdens too heavy
Bed sounds good
Sleep would be nice
Yes
Sleep it off
Until my head hits the pillow
And my thoughts start spinning
What is wrong with me?
What is wrong with this World?
Why all this pain?
Why war?
How did we get here?
How will we get out?
Where is there to go?
Where is the hope?
Weary
Heavy Laden
Bearing burdens
Carrying loads
Where is the relief?
Words begin to fill the space in my brain
The one little space that isn’t spinning
I can’t explain it
I just know it’s there
Rest.
Come to me
All you who are weary
And heavy laden
I will give you rest
My yoke is easy
My burden is light
Cast your cares on me
All of them
But…
All of them?
I am big enough
The doubts
The questions
The deconstructing thoughts
The anger you feel
The fear and dread
Bring them to me
Throw them here
When it seems like no-one understands
I do
When you feel like it is impossible
I am
When you think no-one can love you
Pick me
I can
I love you
I’m here for you
I’ve got you
I am in you
You are in me
And in me you will find your hope
You will find rest for your soul
Soul rest
Yes
Thank you, Jesus
You are the giver of rest
Even in the darkest of nights
When all hope seems lost
And the thoughts spin
There is a space
Like in the eye of a hurricane
When the sadness swirls all around me
I can cuddle up in the truth
That you are near
When I focus on you
Talk to you
Set my face toward you
There in lies the rest
Rest for the soul
Soul rest
