I know He has a plan, but...

A LONG TALK WITH GOD

It seems like everything
That could go wrong tonight
Has happened and I'm bottomed out;
No faith or hope in sight.

On TV I heard a woman preach
About forgiving and letting go;
Well, it's easier said than done
I'd really like to know..

How many time the pieces
Can be picked up and made new,
How many times a broken heart
Can keep on beating through?

"Let go of it and sow a seed
It will come back tenfold -"
I'm supposed to wish them well
And let my love grow cold.

Oh, fickle heart, you don't know
The pain that you've caused me -
I said I'd never love again, that
I would be happy being free.

Fool that I was to believe in love,
And watched it pass me by -
Their wedding invitation came tonight
And I wish that I could cry...

For maybe that would cleanse my soul
And then maybe I could forget -
How can I watch them say "I do"
With a heart full of regret??

Oh, I can wish them well and smile
If I don't have to see them go
Together down the road of life
And if I don't have to know

That all the dreams that I held dear
All underfoot are trod -
I think I'll take some time out
And have a long talk - with God.

Maybe He can help me understand
The reasons for His plan -
Just maybe He will comfort me;
Help me stand up once again.

I have so much to be thankful for
And I am blessed in so many ways -
I'd like to just - sleep through it all
For the rest of my days..

Ah, I see the lesson you are giving me!
I need to learn to trust the score;
Well, if this is the way to Heaven -
Lord, I think - we should talk more.
