The Cushion and the Chair-A Letter To God
The Cushion and the Chair-A letter to God By Laura Bonneville Delacroix
What is it God that you see in me
What is it God that you want me to be
Why is it God that you believe in me
Sometimes the heartache is so great I just want to feel free
The anguish and sorrow that consume my soul
I keep praying to you to fix it all
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
The hurt so abundant I look to you to magically relieve
Why do those I love hurt so bad
this is what makes me feel so sad
So I look up to you and I yell I AM MAD
Mad at you for not fixing it all
Mad at myself that I cannot be brave and stand tall
I look up to you and ask "what is it you wanted"
while those around me continue to be haunted
Foolishly I blamed it all on you
Knowing with your great power you could fix it all too
Please Lord tell me
Tell me what to do
I am putting all my faith in you
You are the Father,the Son, the Holy Ghost
You are the one I look to the most
I look to you to heal my heart
I thought if you didnt I would fall apart
I searched real hard to find myself
and there I sat high upon a shelf
I hide up here so no one can see
I hide inside myself waiting for God to fix me
And then it comes
It was always there
I look down and I see a chair
A chair so strong,so mighty and tall
A chair so strong to be used by all
"Just remember" God says "even I need help
so reach out your foot and take that first step
Reach down my child Reach really in depth
Not you or I can make everything better
sometimes we can just offer them a simple warm sweater
A temporary fix to those who might be cold
Now it is time for them to be bold
"You see my child I am your chair
to help maybe others to reach you up there
So my child just understand
sometimes we all need a helping hand
You are just one person
you cant take away their pain
Just be the cushion upon the chair
Let them know you and I will always be there
To give them love and comfort to ease their pain
Let those around us that hurt know we will always remain
I am the Cushion and God is the Chair
To help our loved ones from their despair....
