This Faith Thing (an attempt at song-writing)
Dear God,
Thank you for today.
Thanks for all the boulders you’ve put in my way.
For the dirty path,
And baptismal bath,
And the nails in the cross to save me.
Thank you God for the red lettered good Words,
And the tears when you touch my heart with a prayer heard.
For the stars and moon,
And songs about you,
And the love in my heart to save me.
This faith thing is a hard thing.
Step into the mist without vision.
Trust in your Grace,
And in Love and the path,
And hold true to this life’s mission.
Thank you God for my babies and pups.
And for the love of my life who says “you are enough”.
For valleys and hills,
Lighted vision and testing trials,
And pardon of Grace to save me.
I don’t know what tomorrow holds,
If I’ll be up or down.
Some days I don’t know the girl in the mirror,
But when I get on my knees I see you clearer,
In your Goodness I find what I’m looking for.
Thank you God for the ties that tether.
For family apart or together.
For forgiveness and mercy and blue skies and the sun rise,
And light in the dark and promise
Of Heaven to save me.
This faith thing is a hard thing.
Step into the mist without vision.
Trust in your grace,
And in love and the path
And hold true to this life’s mission.
