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

This song is right where I am at.
We tend to want others to think we are strong.
Yet, there are times we need to let Him hold us as we cry.
