Yesterday
Yesterday, I cried a tear
Everywhere I looked, I found some fear
Yesterday silenced all my dreams
With doubts and darkness, dread that destroys
The beautiful with melancholy
Yesterday, I tried to listen
To the joy, the kindness, the gentle
That comes from hearing the light of life,
The inspiration and the sacrifice,
Wonderful beyond this present smile
Yesterday, I cried for hope
With a yearning, a longing to cope
Yearning for the inspirations, the muse
Who whispers its comfort into my spirit,
Erases the darkness with tenderness
Yesterday, I tried to discover
The meaning of joy in hues of wonderful,
Blessings so beautiful they free me,
Stirring up faith in me, miracles beyond
What the mind can believe, but inside…
I know that, even yesterday I was fortunate
To know Him, the One who is alive inside me,
The One who gave His life for me – so that
I could accompany Him in eternity, praise
Him with the love that He fixed inside me,
With a faith and a grace that is above reproach…
Because of Him, even yesterday, before I knew
About the love that is so alive, so true…
I was blessed to be chosen, to be given grace
That would cause me to know the joy of His embrace.
Thanks to Him, the One I aspire to be like…
Yesterday reminds me of just how much I’ve grown,
How I’ve changed and become… like the One I live to love,
The One who gives me His answers from above!
He is the Son and He shines on each of us.
Yesterday, I know – reminds me that my heart
Is filled with faith, hope and love that only He could bestow!
