On Course Off Course

Off course...on course There are times when I fall Times when I stall Times when nothing seems to go right at all Times when I go backward At least am standing still Times when I feel broken Like rolling down the hill And then in an instant Love comes flying in Comes with a message of recovery Comes to take away my sin And in that moment I am new again In that moment am green In that moment I rise again In that moment am clean Can I hold on to those moments Can I hold on to them tight Will they help me get through My darkest days and nights I know this journey comes With times when I am dark And blue And others when I am rising Am healing better still And I even though at times I tend to go off course Your love guides me Calling Come back without remorse I have ventured in the low lands Have ventured in the plains Have endured the scary sounds Of that approaching train Your hands reaching out Left little doubt in me I could go no longer Alone and without thee So while you may not have noticed Me slipping out the door Your love it called me back And for that I adore I am grateful for your voices Grateful for your pain Grateful that i heard you And feel washed newly By the rain Doubt not you are so worthy Doubt not even when you fear Doubt not, you make a difference With me, over here I am back from my adventure Back with news, that is known Back from another lesson And with that I have grown Tonight I think important to pray For those who never find their way back home keep calling with your voices And they'll never be alone God bless you Yes you Reading And more so many more For I know that I am lucky To walk back thru the door The shame that falls upon me That guilt that hides my face Has lifted with your kindness I feel love and his grace I am moved by the music Of those who choose to play Love lifted me gently A gift for me today
