Not long ago, within my home,
A marriage crisis came to be.
It broke my heart and bruised my soul,
With pain that brought me to my knees.

My husband had lost interest in
Maintaining matrimony vows,.
For work, he traveled far away,
Not caring that I was his spouse.

Without thought for me or us,
He refused communication.
I was left alone and weary,
Confounded by the situation.

After all my best attempts
To turn his focus to our marriage,
He made it plainly clear to me
That life with me, he did disparage.

It finally hit me all at once,
I could not fix this by myself.
I would need to ask for help,
And put my ego on the shelf.

Whose wise counsel could I seek?
With whom could I place my trust?
Was there one who would be true,
And not see me with pure disgust?

Indeed, there was, and always is...
My dearest friend who loves me so.
If I ask Him, He will come,
To battle this atrocious foe.

My friend's restored sight to the blind;
He's healed the sick and parted seas;
He forgives me every day;
My Lord! He's even died for me!

So to my knees, I hit the floor,
Beckoning God's mighty Lamb,
Inviting him into my house,
Jesus Christ, the Great I Am.

I asked Him to forgive my sins,
And thanked Him for His holy grace.
And begged Him to be with my spouse,
And show him to His righteous face.

I told Him that no matter what,
I would accept His gracious will.
I put my woes in Jesus' hands,
And filled with faith, I just sat still.

I prayed and prayed throughout each day,
And just let Jesus take the lead.
I gave my troubles to the Lord,
I knew the Truth, and did concede.

My Savior did not let me down.
He brought me peace and set me free.
And because it was His will,
He brought my husband back to me.

My King of Kings, my Lord of Lords,
My Creator and Salvation,
The Rock, the Teacher, and the Potter,
He is the Ruler of all nations.

To Him, I give all the glory,
I know I'll never be alone,
He fills my heart with love and joy;
Jesus Christ, my Cornerstone.
