I Wore a Groove Across That Floor — When Hope Was Almost Gone | Christian Blues

I Wore a Groove Across That Floor A slow dark acoustic blues gospel song inspired by Lamentations 3:1–25. This song comes from that place where prayer feels unanswered, strength is gone, and hope is almost gone too. But in the middle of sorrow, one truth rises: the mercy of the Lord has not let go. The night may still be dark. The road may still be long. But His mercies are new every morning. Lyrics written by Art Pickens Music generated with Songer © 2026 Art Pickens. All rights reserved. Lyrics I wore a groove across that floor, Lord, I wore a groove across that floor. Every prayer came back in silence, Every door stayed closed. My hands were weak, my body aching, I could barely stand. I said, “Lord, if You are near me, Why can’t I feel Your hand?” Trouble built a wall around me, Stone by stone, it climbed. I called until my throat went dry, But Heaven gave no sign. People laughed to see me broken, Made a song out of my pain. I swallowed dust and bitterness And woke to grief again. When hope was almost gone, When I had nothing left, I remembered Your mercy— It had not let me go. New mercy in the morning, New mercy with the dawn. Great is Your faithfulness, Lord, You held me all along. I said, “My strength has finally left me. I have no fight to give.” Then one quiet truth rose in me: Your mercy kept me living. The night had not grown lighter, The road was just as long, But I knew I was not abandoned, So I took one more step. The Lord is still my portion, Even here, even now. I don’t have to understand Your ways To trust You in this valley. You are good to those who seek You, Even when answers do not come. So I will wait here in the darkness Until morning mercy comes. When hope was almost gone, When I had nothing left, I remembered Your mercy— It had not let me go. New mercy in the morning, New mercy with the dawn. Great is Your faithfulness, Lord, You held me all along. The Lord is still my portion, So I will hope in Him. The night may still surround me, But I will hope in Him.
