A song for Haiti

I don't think this is 100% finished and it needs a title... anyone have suggestions?

Awaking to the darkness
All my life came crashing down on me
My heart lies shattered around me
And I don’t know which pieces start picking
I can’t even figure out where the ground should be
Voices cry out from nowhere
Everyone and no one at the very same time
I can’t see them but I hear them
I can’t touch them but I feel them
All around me, all around me

Who will find me in this small and lonely space
Who will comfort me in the darkness of this place
Who will shine a light to search for my missing face
Who but God will comfort me with grace
Who but God will free me with His grace

I’m cold I’m hot I’m wet I’m dry
I don’t know what I feel anymore and I don’t even know why
I wish that I could move myself but I just can’t wiggle free
From the rubble of my life crushing down on me

Who will find me in this small and lonely space
Who will comfort me in the darkness of this place
Who will shine a light to search for my missing face
Who but God will comfort me with grace
Who but God will free me with His grace

All along my faith Him has spared me from despair
All along my hope in Him has comforted me with care
I’m not alone for this is also His burden to bear
Here with God I am safe, even if my life He does not spare

Who will find me in this small and lonely space
Who will comfort me in the darkness of this place
Who will shine a light to search for my missing face
Who but God will comfort me with grace
Who but God will free me with His grace

    (Corrections... not that anyone is reading this but I hate leaving things uncorrected. Maybe the title is Haiti's Grace not sure, maybe not, maybe it doesn't need a title since it will just stay hear nestled alone...)
