My Reason For Being Alive
You’re always there
hovering in the background
waiting for the invitation
to accompany me on this journey,
I can feel your presence
but as always when things go well,
You were just an afterthought
a rambled prayer just before bedtime,
You stayed in the background
not moaning, not sulking,
just waiting, waiting on the words
“Help me!”
And when things go wrong
when I lose control
when I’m not able to carry on
with one word, You’re there
to pick me up, to help me on this voyage,
not holding a grudge
not saying
I told you so,
always forgiving…
Without You, I am nothing,
without You, I have no direction,
without You, I don’t know my own strength…
But with you everything that seems impossible
is made possible
every obstacle that seems big
becomes minuscule,
that’s how awesome You are
that’s how forgiving You are
always there, always willing and able
to respond to my plight,
Lord, help me never to forget
my reason for being alive…
