Days Like Today

My eyes are wide open but I am in deed alseep
And I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I mean because I'm in the water and it is deep
I am walking down the road and it is steep
I've heard look before you leap
But I'm in over my head and so I weep
Not because of what people might say
But because I saw it coming a mile away
And did nothing
I sit idly by
As things, people, dreams pass me by
Not motivated  to get integrated
In those things that could help me prosper
Instead I stay in a stupor
of stupid unwilling to move
Because I have nothing to prove
But everything to lose
Or do I have anything at all
Glass pitcher on a diagonal shelf and I don't care that it might fall
I'm sitting down when I should be standing tall
And asking the Lord for help
But I continue to look to my own self
And put the Lord to side
As if I can be my own Guide
Lord please forgive me
I ca't continue to be 
this ungrateful
this unthankful
And it's shameful

The Past

the past is behind
although sometimes I have little peace of mind
because I still have memories
that hang on to me
And when the thoughts become too much
I cry out to Thee
Because with just one touch 
Of the Master's hand
I return and begin to understand
Forgive doesn't mean forget
Or the past will be my present
I need to remember where I came from
I won and I lost some
But because of Christ I can still smile
All the while
I hold my heart and tongue from speaking guile
Because if I begin to confess
evil thoughts and evil mess
and ungodly evil things
Can I really be surprised at the reapings 
the harvest will bring
I recently heard that God can turn a victim into a victory
And that is what He has done inside of me
It's so much I could not see
before He opened my eyes
Now I truly realize 
That it is only by His hand that I can come out on the other side
the lamp unto my feet, my Guide
People may look at me
And say "how can she"?
But the truth is I can't and I don't
If God said No I couldn't and I won't
I think a testimony can come out of a test
I've been tried by some of the best
and must confess 
that yes my soul was at unrest
But then I asked God for His peace
And He saved my soul
So I made it my intent and my goal
to serve Him first
there's a drink that quenches your thirst
but with Him I never have to thirst again
Not only is He my friend
But Jesus- I cannot live without Him
