Life
So many demands and no one to turn to
Life is pressing hard on you
Your confused, bound not sure what to do
You hear God calling, yet you choose to ignore
The voice inside says, “I can’t keep doing this anymore”
And yet you keep pressing the weight too hard to bare
Until you take a stumble and no one is there
You now find yourself broken, disillusioned and alone
Not sure which way to turn you say to yourself, “can I really return home?”
Just as the prodigal son came to himself repented and went back
So is your opportunity awaiting
Life is going at such a rapid pace
I’m looking for you, but I can’t see your face
I wait in anticipation for you to speak to me
But the only thing I hear is silence or is it just me?
I’m looking for an answer
Do I stay or do I go?
Does it really even matter? I need change this I know
When will you speak and bring about change?
I’m waiting for you as I call out your name
Peace and blessings given to you alone
What path to choose I really don’t know?
What do I have to lose? What am I doing wrong?
As I sit and ponder what this life is all about
I have to ask myself, “Wwhy is there so much doubt”?
What happened to my dreams, my goals, and my aspirations?
Why did I give up? Were my dreams not worth attaining?
I’m looking for direction, for peace and for joy
Where are you Father? I’m not sure I’m looking anymore
To set goals and achieve them, to become a huge success
I’ve spent so much time pleasing others, how did I get myself into this mess
Deployed again, away from my family
Life is going by and what a tragedy
I’ve made many mistakes, made choices I regret and yet I know God is not finished with me
yet
God’s peace, His will, His way is not known, I’m out here in this world and sometimes I feel
so alone
Away with my feelings, enough it’s time to change
Success is not an accident, nor is fortune or fame
I’ve been charged to tell them that Jesus is soon to come, what am I waiting for?
