Lover of the Lonely

I have felt rejection in my life

Loneliness, betrayal

The emptiness of knowing

You are not wanted

You are not accepted

You are not one of us.

But you Oh Lord,

You felt this all the more

You were despised by men

You were abandoned by your friends

Denied

Abused

Hurt

They all have rejected you.

And I too have denied you

Hurt you

I turned my back on you.

Yet you still love me

Nothing I do will ever sway you

You are relentless.

Where do I turn when I feel alone?

I turn to the lover of the lonely.

Where do I turn if all have left me?

When no one wants me?

When people hurt me?

To the giver of peace

To the holder of light

The one who never sleeps.

You look for me when I am lost

You fight for me when I am weak

You hurt when you see me cry.

I will never deserve you

Yet your love is eternal.

Once rejected

Forever honored

King of Kings

Keeper of my heart.

You are all I need

And my thirst shall be quenched.
