Lord, Help Us

                                             You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong,
                                                       why do You idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked
                                                    swallows ups the man more righteous than he?
Habakkuk 1:13

Our world is broken. Everywhere we look there is violence, injustice, bitterness, and futility. Discouragement and doubt are always close behind. When we see the brokenness, we may be tempted to question God: His goodness, His power, His love.

I used Habakkuk 1:13 as a launching pad for this song. I wanted to face these doubts and questions head on. And I wanted to provide an honest, sincere response to them. Instead of avoiding difficult questions, we need to, first, seek out truth in His Word. Then, we need to pray for help. Confessing our doubts and admitting our areas of weakness is not a step in the wrong direction. It is the first step to relinquishing control and trusting in the goodness of the God who sent Christ to suffer the worst injustice possible. 

May God grant us the grace to sing through all our doubt and discouragement, for His glory and for our good.
