Singleness

God bring me out of my distressEveryday I'm trying to be the bestThrough daily sacrifice, I give you my lifeThat I may honor you and my future wifeFrom Adam's rib you formed Eve, so where is mine?What have you been trying to teach me this whole time?I don't understand Lord, reveal to me your planHow long must I remain a single man?Where is my bride? Is there something I lack?Please give me the strength I need to stay on trackLike Israel wandering the desert, my life feels barren and dryOne day I want to be able to look in my children's eyesI know I'm not promised any of these thingsAnd more worldly troubles is what a family bringsRestore my joy, it's for the resurrection of your son we singNo woman is perfect, so give me your eyes to seeShe must be out there, just bring her to me!I'll remind her daily you died on a treeAnd that in heaven with you we'll spend eternityWhen will it be my turn to get down on one knee?I've been patient, I've waited for thirty-one yearsSo many nights spent alone in tearsI know it's not right, I should lift my hands in praiseAnd be joyful and glad for what you've done all my daysBut YOU placed these desires in my heart!Have they become an idol? Is that why my family won't start?My friends get to have shameless sex, it's not fairYou know I wasn't made for singleness, don't you care?!So what is the deal? I'm beginning to feel cursedBut you gave up your son, does that not show my worth?Lord, help me to endureI know sex, drugs, money are no cureThe only thing that can fill me is Jesus I'm sureRemove these wicked thoughts that drive me to griefGive me secure joy that cannot be stolen by any thiefI want to trust you, I don't want to doubtI'm so frustrated at times I could shoutThere is nothing in this world that will fill this holeIn Christ alone must I trust and relinquish control
