THE GAPING HOLE

I felt a depth of pain
From a gaping hole, inside
I thought for sure this was the end
But my fears tend to misguide
I wanted the hole to be covered
But God wants it to be filled
He knew I'd never understand
Until my soul was stilled
I didn't want to remember
Why the gaping hole was there
I felt all torn up inside of me
The pain so hard to bare
It wouldn't leave or go away
It decided it would stay
The hole revealed a stronger side of me
Somehow, I knew I'd be okay
Now I sit with the gaping hole
And invite God's will inside
As He gently holds my sorrow
And the tears that I once cried
