Faith

When the darkness surrounds me Still I feel your light I don’t have to see you to believe What I know in my heart is right You’ve always been there and always will be Your presence brings great comfort to me I tried to be in control of my life, I tried to be strong What I discovered through my hardships was that I was so wrong My life is not for me to control, it’s for me to live But in order to do that, I must first forgive I start by forgiving myself for being righteous and blind It can be a hard pill to swallow, leaving your failures behind Why do I let them haunt me so? Why is it such a struggle to let go? What is my worry, what is my fear? That even if I get back on track, my life may still veer? It’s time to put my faith in a higher power The only one who knows my true path And can lead me through the showers The rain may fall, the ground my shake I may doubt myself, but your sacrifices, I will never forsake Thank you for staying by my side Thank you for always caring Thank you for blessing me with two amazing sons meant for sharing Now when I feel the darkness creeping in Your light shines even brighter, past feeling and into sight Leading me away from sin Free from the stresses that in the past had consumed me I am all in, for now I see You make it all happen, so I can just be You are taking me on an incredible ride Don’t let me miss any of it Help me to keep my eyes open wide Noting every detail of my journey, good or bad Learning and growing as you intended Up until the day my life on Earth has ended And I can come home to you
