You may feel lost, like all you do is roam
Like a tornado is blasting all that is home
Maybe it seems every time you build a bit
A freight train runs over you and just won’t quit
Perhaps it feels like you have no love
Not even a connection with God above
Does it seem people are never true
They always turn and betray you
Maybe it’s loss which you just can’t fix
Or sickness that won’t heal and just can’t kick
Maybe it’s money and there is never enough
Or perhaps it isn’t one thing but that everything is tough
But then there is a glimmer of light which is hope
A laugh, a hug, or a song that helps you cope
And you take a deep breath and realize there is a bigger plan
You haven’t fallen down where you’re unable to stand
But rather you are climbing out of a pit
It may be baby steps but so worth the trip
Because along the way you are learning how to be strong and still
Which is not giving up your life but instead letting go of your will
Trusting that God has forgotten the past
And is holding you fast
He is also going ahead and preparing the way
To make it all mean something and lead you through the maze
He’s working and watching and weaving His love
Through your broken pieces so you can reach the mountain top above
So strive on and move forward while taking breaks to rest
Knowing God is present and knows what is best
Breathe in the breeze, listen to the birds sing their songs
Stop and feel comfort even when the day is long
Don’t ever give up because the darkness engulfs
There is always a glimmer of hope to live for and will be enough
Just give it all time to unfold and your story will show
You have hope and a purpose and this you will know.
