Puzzling
As puzzling as it may seem,
Here in this life
There are hopes that scream
Beyond the strife,
Through the darkness, a theme
Joy larger-than-life
Puzzling like real life riddles
Pouring out pieces
Heart blazing, fiddles
With light that releases
Brilliant dreams, middles
Doubt and worry decreases
Memories puzzling the present,
Freeing the grace
Passionate promises, so pleasant
A humble embrace
Shedding the past, it will prevent
The heart’s disgrace
Life is like a flower
Beautiful yet fleeting
Always it is in God’s power
Love is completing
Nothing on earth can devour
The wonders are repeating
Even the most puzzling clouds
Bring abundant love
Silencing the violent crowds
It will always come from above
Remember that all His shrouds
Were laid aside, truelove…
Puzzling the heart, but making a way
For our souls to know, to pray
For paradise – light, life that won’t delay
In quieting fear with a hope that won’t decay
Puzzling as it feels to me…
Because He lives – I am saved
He heard my ardent plea…
By grace – my penalty is waived
