In the End
Everything I ever asked for, and it's all right in front me
Yet when I reach out for it, it's as if it's slowing floating away
Taunting me, testing my nerve, willing me to give in
But I stand tall, and I try to out smart it, a hopeless attempt
I can say I tried, but did I?
The effort I put into it, was it enough to even qualify?
I can say that I gave it my all,
but in the end I know I'm a coward.
In the end I know that it's all over,
I know that everything is over.
But there's more to it,
a light at the end of the tunnel, an oasis in the middle of a desert
And I find it..
I find that one little spark, and I start a wildfire.
I look to God, and I thank Him,
for placing me in this situation, for giving me these opportunities,
for giving me this life.
When I thought I lost,
He helped me through it.
God lifted me up and took me in, into His kingdom,
into His Heaven, into His heart.
And it was as if i was born again,
into His arms, but in the end, I never left them.
I was always with him,
I just didn't know which path to take.
And In the End, I was home, although I never left.
*************************************************
This one wasn't necessarily a cry for help, it was like, when you feel like you have everything you ever wanted.. Then everything goes wrong and you lose it.
You feel like you're trying your hardest, but it's hopeless. And then by turning to God, everything returns to normal. He brings you in, you're accepted by Him and life is back to normal. In the end, everything is okay again.
