..upon the mercy of the Lord - |
My grandchildren are flying home today From a summer vacation down Florida way; I think about them flying home It's not so safe, they are so alone. My son is hurting really bad From living the life he's had; His heart is not strong - Doctors say it won't be long. My life seems to turn with ebb and flow Where I'm going, I sure don't know - I'm like to be everything for everyone; Somehow I don't think it can be done. My daughters I can not forget, They'll learn the pain of living yet - And will they be strong enough to survive, To make it through their pain alive? It seems true love is what I crave, To be a partner, not a slave - I've almost given up every dream Living alone can be pretty mean. So many worries and thoughts can be Disruptive to my sanity - There is only one thing to do I'm casting my cares to someone new. You see, I don't have to worry and fret There is someone that I can let Have every care, if my trust is strong He will help us all along. When flying home, sight unseen, but there Jesus holds my grandchildren in His care. I know that only He can understand When my son must leave this land. He will give the strength they need My daughters will on His love feed; They may shake their heads in disbelief But He will overcome their grief! And as for me, I know that He Will put me where I need to be; If I follow Him and say a prayer I can cast to Him all my care! For me to miss a love that's true, Is really a dumb thing to do - With God's love so close to me; He will open my eyes to see. Casting my cares, and letting go, Brings the peace that I crave so. Whatever life may hold in store I shall never ask for more. He will provide my every need; All I must do is sow one seed Of loving kindness in my heart And with courage make a start. |
