In the Blink of An Eye

Never having been in need for much for life has always been pretty good The whole family had kept in touch just like true families should And the job was great so the family was also doing very well Seemed to have a pretty clean slate from what everyone could tell Vacation every year and a brand new car in that big driveway It all seemed pretty clear that that’s the way things would stay But in a blink of an eye it had come crashing down all about Now asking why as his whole body became filled with doubt He hadn’t prayed in so long, there was never any need to Always having been so strong this feeling was so new But kneeling down on those knees such big tears began to flow Offering up desperate plea’s, finding feelings one could never know That was four years ago today and things have never been the same That moment he began to pray in calling out Jesus‘s Name His daughter survived the accident and regular life has returned Whatever was truly meant it was Gracious in what was learned
