An Open Door
Each day is like a door opening
Into a world vast and unending,
Where things are staying, moving
changing, growing, dying,
building, breaking, fixing, tearing,
mending, wounding, healing.
Like them, we too are ever-changing,
the same never staying.
But what on earth are we becoming?
The choice is ours; we are deciding.
If this constant change seems confusing
then you need a compass guiding
to a destination leading
if your life is to have meaning.
God your Maker is extending
Hands to hold as you are walking
and to keep your feet from straying.
He offers help when strength is failing
comfort when your heart is breaking
calm when your head is spinning
soothing when your body’s aching
peace when your world is caving
teaching so you’re always learning.
On the cross, a savior dying
for man engrossed in sinning
“I love you,” our God was saying.
“Come to me,” His voice is pleading
What your soul needs is saving.
Take the hands I am extending
Soon my son will be returning
Let me prepare you for landing
In a place of peace abiding
and where life is never-ending.
