O Lord, I am separated from the one who once loved me, and sorrow has estranged me from my friends. I am weary with crying, and my eyes fail while I wait for my God. Emptiness and loneliness crush me every night, and meaninglessness haunts me by day. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint, lifting up to You these praises:
Jesus, unfailing friend for the abandoned!
Jesus, lover of my soul!
Jesus, serenity for those in the midst of storms!
Jesus, renewed strength for the burdened!
Jesus, fill the emptiness of my heart!
Jesus, use me as the instrument of Your peace!
Jesus, strength for the day of battle!
Jesus, banner of glorious victory!
Jesus, healer of the past!
Jesus, guide for the future!
Jesus, triumphant forgiveness!
Jesus, eternal vindication!
Jesus, light to those in darkness, glory to You!
