Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes I Cry

"But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears." Psalm 18:6
 

It figures that the day I am to write a devotion is the day I just want to sit down and cry.  I could post an “oldie but goodie” or ask someone to post for me, but I am being honest like Jason Crabb sings, “Sometimes I cry”.  I know that I must hold on to my Lord’s promise that He will never leave me nor forsake me.  I must hold on to the fact that for everything there is a purpose, and reason.  I know too that He continues to test my faith and that I will be stronger for that as well.    But to be honest -There are days when I just want to cry – give up and give in – but God says hold on – press on!  So today, instead of writing a post, I think this song says it best.  I appreciate your continued prayers.  If  you are going through some trials as well, may the lyrics to this song minister to your heart today and encourage you to hold on –  It’s okay that sometimes we just sit down and cry.  Let your precious Savior know how you feel. It’s okay to cry.  

Sometimes I Cry, written by Gerrald Crabb sung by Jason Crabb

I look the part

Blend in with the rest of the church crowd

I know the routine

I could list all the bible studies in town

Watch christian TV

I know all the preachers, their cliches

I've been born again

And without a doubt I know I'm saved

But sometimes I hurt and sometimes I cry

Sometimes I can't get it right

No matter how hard that I seem to try

Sometimes I fall down

And I stumble over my own disguise

But I try to look strong

As the whole world looks on, sometimes alone I cry

I try to speak faith

Never give that old devil, no, not even an inch to get in

I do worship and praise

Let everybody know just where that I stand

And on the back of my old four-wheel drive Chevy

Is a fish and a cross for the world to see

'Cause I know my God is good, all of the time

Yes, there's no doubt for me

But sometimes I hurt and sometimes I cry

Sometimes I can't get it right

No matter how hard that I seem to try

Sometimes I fall down

And I stumble over my own disguise

Well, I try to look strong

As the whole world looks on, sometimes alone I cry

Sometimes I fall down

Stumble over my own disguise

Well, I try to look strong

As the whole world looks on, sometimes alone I cry

And I try to look strong

As the whole world looks on, but the truth is

Sometimes alone I cry
