When I Was Overwhelmed

When I was overwhelmed within
You cleansed my erring heart from sin.

When I was overwhelmed without,
Your hand encompassed me about.

When I was overwhelmed with fright.
You assured me in darkest night.

When I was overwhelmed some days
You led me in Your perfect way.

As I am overwhelmed right now.
Upon my knees in prayer I bow.

My soul in overwhelment asks:
“O, help me Lord, and know my path!”

Based on Psalm 142:3
