Lonely Spaces

There are lonely spaces
I've filled with things and faces
Still lonely
And still weak
Exist these lonely places
Void, bitter, and empty
Describe the feeling within me
Not happy
Never full
Within these ugly places
Lord fill these lonely spaces
Joy is where your face is
Not things
Nor places
Can fill these empty spaces
The gap is far too wide
Too enormous to hide
From my mind
To my heart
You connect the pieces
Lonely yet not alone
Through cheers and painful groans
A cry for help
Or glorious praise
You fill the empty spaces
Have mercy on me Lord
A call to your reward
Not man
Nor Material
You be in their places
Fill the lonely spaces
With your mercies and your graces
When happy
Or discontent
Please fill my lonely spaces
