It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up
Lift me up
When I am falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again
Downpour in my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
Can't feel my feet touching the ground
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up
Lift me up
When I am falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all waves of sin
And guilt that overthrows me
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up
Lift me up
When I am falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again
This is how I have felt the last couple of weeks. I am sure that many of you have heard this song and said "oh yeah, its great" but have you ever really felt what it is like to feel like you are drowning and you are calling out to God and it seems that he doesn't hear a word you are saying. I really have lately.
As you may know I am planning a trip to Haiti or should I say that God is planning a trip to Haiti this summer and I am just the person he chose to use to get it done. I am not sure but there must be a reason because I am not this crazy on my own...ahem...not to say that God is crazy but this is not something that I would do on my own. And I am not. I have my friend Calah who is helping and Jonathan who is also helping. They have both been there helping me get things done and keeping me sane. We have made a lot of progress. It is just that there is a daunting task ahead of us and we feel as though we "are splashing in the ocean, losing control". we are having a hard time seeing the finished product of the smiling faces of the kids at World Harvest Orphanage. We need a lot of supplies to help out there and do what we want to do there. We are believing that God will supply all of what we need for us. So we know that we shouldn't worry but we can't do all of this on our own without asking like it says in Luke 11:10.
So if you wish to send donations or money send it to the following address:
Alyssa Hallaway
2317 Westland Mill
Acworth, GA 30102
We will be there for six weeks so...if you cannot help in giving money, give your prayers, support and blessings.
Alyssa
