...sometimes in the quiet of the morning - |
I HAD A LONG TALK WITH GOD Once, in the quiet of morning, I looked out at my piece of earth And considered all that I was lacking Since the very time of my birth! Then I decided to find out Just what my destiny would be; I went out to the garden To see if HE would tell me. I had a long talk with God; I told Him all of my woes, HE just smiled and waited For me to come to a close. But I wasn't finished, no sir! I told Him how hard I have tried To make a good, honest living And by the rules to abide. I told Him I wasn't satisfied To be living with hardship and debt; I told Him I couldn't understand Why I hadn't found happiness yet. Some people live in luxury, And yet I am doomed to despair; I asked Him if I was in danger, Would He really be there? No word from the Master was spoken, Yet the sunbeams shone from above; And my eyes soon beheld wonders Of all of His mystery and love. I no longer felt any anger, No longer felt any pain - A peace like I'd never imagined Came over me like fresh rain. I turned to ask Him the reason But was sure the answer had come; I bowed my head in reverence Saying "Father, thy will - be done". I've learned to trust Him completely, My soul and my life is in His Hands; And I know that He will not forsake me, For I - am one of His lambs. Countrymom 3/30/03 |
