Overcome

Tears flowing, streaming down my cheeks
Overcome by emotion, overwhelmed by life
Wishing for a hug, a smile, a hand to hold
Commitments pile up, expectations rise
How I need refreshment, need to be refueled
And then I focus on the many blessings I have
Finding peace in God's love
Reminding myself that He cares for me
That I'm not alone in this journey
Tears of hurt turn to tears of surrender
Overcome by emotion, overwhelmed by Him
Strength will come as I look to the cross
To stand and face another day

This chorus echos in my mind and offers hope to my heart:
Father, You're all I need / My soul's sufficiency / My strength when I am weak / That love that carries me / Your arms enfold me, till I am only / A child of God
