REVISIT ME, LORD
(A Prayer in Song)
Verse 1
Father, here I am with empty hands,
Nothing left but tears I cannot hide.
I'm losing everything I thought I knew,
Some days I feel I'm losing my own mind.
I've walked through valleys deeper than my years,
I've carried burdens no one else could see.
But even now, with shattered dreams and fears,
I choose to fall on my knees before You.
Pre-Chorus
When I don't have the words to pray,
When silence is all my soul can say,
Holy Spirit, intercede for me.
Carry every broken piece to the Father's feet.
"The Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." (Romans 8:26)
Chorus
Revisit me, Lord...
Come breathe upon these dry bones once again.
Revisit me, Lord...
Restore the hope I thought had reached its end.
Draw me back when I lose my way.
Hold me close when I cannot pray.
I refuse to bow to suffering.
I refuse to let despair bury me.
Though I'm broken, You are still my God.
Revisit me, Lord.
Verse 2
I've searched for love but found goodbye.
I've trusted hearts that chose to walk away.
Every road seems closed before my eyes,
Yet I believe You're making one today.
I don't want a life that's only surviving;
Lord, teach this weary heart to truly live.
You came to give abundant life,
So breathe Your purpose into me again.
"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)
Pre-Chorus
I have fallen short so many times.
I've spoken from my pain and not from faith.
Yet Your mercy is new every morning.
Do not leave me where I am.
"His mercies are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:22–23)
Chorus
Revisit me, Lord...
Come breathe upon these dry bones once again.
Revisit me, Lord...
Restore the hope I thought had reached its end.
Draw me back when I lose my way.
Hold me close when I cannot pray.
I refuse to bow to suffering.
I refuse to let despair bury me.
Though I'm broken, You are still my God.
Revisit me, Lord.
Bridge (Prayer)
If not for me, Lord...
Bless me for my daughter who needs her mother.
Bless me for my family that looks to me.
Bless me for my mother who never stopped believing,
The woman who still kneels when I cannot stand.
The woman who still calls Your Name
When my own faith grows quiet.
Remember her prayers, O God.
Remember every tear she has cried.
Remember every sleepless night.
Remember every sacrifice.
You said,
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)
Teach me to seek only You.
Not success before You.
Not relationships before You.
Not money before You.
But You...
Because if I have You,
I have hope.
Declaration
I rebuke every spirit of despair in the name of Jesus.
I rebuke every lie that tells me my story is over.
No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For You are with me.
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper." (Isaiah 54:17)
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley... You are with me." (Psalm 23:4)
Every closed door...
Lord, if it is Your will, open the right one.
Every broken dream...
Heal what can be healed and lead me where You want me to go.
Every tear I've cried...
Collect them before You.
"You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in Your bottle." (Psalm 56:8)
Final Chorus
Revisit my home, Lord.
Revisit my family.
Revisit my career.
Revisit my future.
Revisit my relationships.
Revisit my purpose.
Revisit my calling.
Revisit every place where hope has died.
You are the God who restores.
You are the God who heals.
You are the God who provides.
You are the God who makes a way in the wilderness.
"Behold, I am doing a new thing... I will make a way in the wilderness." (Isaiah 43:19)
So I will wait for You.
Though my heart is weary, I will wait.
Though my hands are empty, I will wait.
Though I cannot see tomorrow, I will trust.
Because those who hope in the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall rise on wings like eagles.
They shall run and not grow weary.
They shall walk and not faint.
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." (Isaiah 40:31)
Outro (Whispered Prayer)
Lord...
I have nothing left to offer You but my broken heart.
Please don't pass me by.
Draw me back to You.
Hold me together when I am falling apart.
Be my refuge.
Be my Provider.
Be my Shepherd.
Be my Father.
Revisit me...
In Jesus Christ' name.
Amen.
