Choosing and deciding right without surpassing the will of God. |
I made a life I thought was mine And tried so hard to walk beyond the line “I can do it!” I said with pride Not knowing it would only turn the tide. On my journey I thought I was enjoying Only to find later that I was yearning I thought I made it to the top Not knowing it just made me a flop. My ears were deaf that could not hear My eyes were blind to see with fear My head that ached with so much pain Not knowing my life started to get no gain. In my ability, I tried to settle things Friends I seek, were gone with the winds I knocked on their door for a cue Not knowing no one dared for a rescue. In my great anguish, “It’s unfair!” I protested Yours today, mine tomorrow and forever I demanded But all the more they kicked me out Not knowing unconsciously I made a shout. Tears rolled down gently on my pale cheeks Until drops went slowly through my quivering lips My mouth opened as I began to sob Not knowing it would loosen my heart’s knob. The taste was bad that made me shiver But I was suddenly reminded not to linger My heart and soul yelling with great pain Not knowing it was I who chose the stain. Where had I come from? Why am I crying? How did I get here? What am I doing? No one could give me a satisfying answer Not knowing I was seeking for a reliever. I looked up there a stranger He was Crying, waiting to give me what He has He stretched His hands ever willing I guess Not knowing He gave me the very best. My heart was filled with shame and disgrace But I was told to finish the race I will teach you if you just wait Not knowing His plans for me He slowly narrates. This earthly life I once took for granted Now my second chance that I be rewarded Not for things I temporarily gain and see But far better from the best of me! |
