A LOVE
STORY
Have you ever head a love story that tears at your heart I have thought at time in my life my heart was totally broken Not a good ending and cruel words spoken I never did get my life's desires but what I got makes up for all I heard the Lord in and answered His call I wanted a home that I never got to keep To tell about this would take us deep Into the heart of a person who would just weep Down into time...I need only to forget... they're in my memories a little yet My eyes fill with tears and my throat chokes up But You're right there Lord each time I feel blue And I know all I need in my life is You At times I feel like I could fly and at times...as if I'd already It used to be that I would be upset for days and weeks And life would go darker and I couldn't speak Nothing that anyone would understand Until the Lord reached down and now holds my hand But the Lord has helped me through the jungle And carried me on a wing and a prayer I didn't know then, that I had Your help in time of need But now I can say, thank you for planting in me a seed(s) Let the feeling of being uneasy and unstable...Be at peace and leave that all behind...it's a fable Of so long ago but it seems so close in time....to me Like yesterday's storms, today's sunshine...tomorrows rainbows Makes me wonder am I nearing the end of the last rainbow Waiting to see for myself and want to know first hand How can You possibly manage this big, big land Is that when my ship will be more....with a lighthouse to look out from And get a picture of night and day...dark and sun Look out over the sea and get a glimpse of what might be But for all you've promised and given already I know in the end I'll be ready For eternity, everything beautiful, and That I can walk in the light of the world with You I Love You Lord My heart pines to see you face to face Not complaining, just nearing the end of life's big race. © Shirley Updike March 27, 2005 |
