Frustrating "Times"

FACT: I tend to get frustrated over silly things.

I'm usually pretty good at suppressing it, but after a while it gets to where the littlest thing sets me off.

It's the most annoying thing in the world. (You can ask.)

Well, a couple of days ago I got so frustrated with all kinds of random things about life in general that i just didn't really get it, I gave up. I went off alone and by myself. (Yes they are two different things) I pulled out my notebook and just started pounding out all of my random frustrations and thoughts into writing.

Well, when I had satisfied myself, and cooled down quite a bit, I took a look at what I wrote and thought "Hey! That could be a song!". I had a true Music and Lyrics moment. Upon further inspection, I realized that it pretty much already IS a song.

The song it resembled is a very good song, much better than anything I really could have written, though it nicely expressed how I felt at the time.

And so, in conclusion, here is the song that resembled my frustration....

I know I need You
I need to love You
I love to see You, but it's been so long
I long to feel You
I feel this need for You
And I need to hear You, is that so wrong? 

Now You pull me near You
When we're close, I fear You
Still I'm afraid to tell You, all that I've done
Are You done forgiving? 
Oh can You look past my pretending? 
Lord, I'm so tired of defending, what I've become
What have I become? 

I hear You say, 
"My love is over. It's underneath.
It's inside. It's in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, 'Is this for real? '
The times you're broken.
The times that you mend.
The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My power alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."
