Repose

When your heart’s been broken,
Or your spirit’s feeling low.
And you’re looking for direction,
A place where you can go.

Remember that although the pace,
May at often time seem slow.
Your faith will be your shelter,
A place where you can grow.

Don’t hide behind the shadow,
Of another’s dream.
For while you seek the river,
They may be searching for a stream.

So if the day looks cloudy,
The sun, not in your sight.
What may seem your darkest hour,
Is just a still and restful night.
