All Is Right – Almighty LORD GOD

Sitting by his bedside – watching
His labored breaths – my husband –
Beloved – enduring battered life –
Sleep his only respite – temporary –
Waking alone at night – struggling –
Pulling – lifting – reaching up
With all his might

 

 

Tears roll down my cheeks  –
Unrestrained groaning – then my plea –
Any time – LORD – You may say
Come up here with Me today –
But grant my husband life abundant
Here with me – I trust You – LORD –
That all is right

 

By Your stripes we were healed – LORD –
We are the righteousness of God
In Christ – My heart breaks – LORD –
To watch my precious husband fight
To breathe – to speak – to swallow food –
Please hear me as I pray
With all my might

His days are scrolling – my husband
Longs for You – Jesus – LORD –
He waits each day to hear Your call –
Come up here with Me – Johannes –
But not today – still waiting here –
With me – LORD – Show me
That all is right

Another day brings change again –
Alertness – strength – swallowing too –
What is this – Amazed I see –
My husband rallies once again –
You heard me – LORD – it seems –
Raise me up to meet the challenge –
I need Your might

Thank you for peace and quiet rest
Knowing You care – knowing
You reign and nothing’s too hard
For you – LORD – Champion –
Ruler of day and night – Keeper
Of the New Covenant – showing me
That all is right
