Only ...
Ecclesiastes 3:15
15 Whatever exists now has already been, and whatever will be has already been;
for God will seek to do again what has occurred in the past.
Only
Where to when I am lonely ... should I visit the past?
Here is where it started ... that part that did not last
Should I walk or swim ... in the river of my tears?
Why am I so far away ... when everything is near?
In the place where I lived ... I will start anew
I repaint the plaster ... to start all I will do
I will hang new paper ... and refinish the floors
then I will feel better ... invitation an open door
The paper will change little ... and the painting just reflects
that I have not changed much ... but really “what the heck”.
Life just keeps on moving ... so I will join the throng
traveling through uncertainty ... as I will get along.
I know Who holds the future ... but I am not sure about mine
If I keep on trusting Him ... I know that I’ll be fine
In times of uncertainty ... and when I see no hope
I know He’ll be there ... at the bottom of the slope
He is there to catch me ... when I’m scared and out of breath
He will keep me in His arms ... until I’ll be at rest
He will whisper sweetly ... or sing softly in my ears
and underline assurance ... for He is always near
On the mountaintop He keeps me ... as I think to be an eagle
but when I fall and slide down ... He becomes a sleigh for me
He takes all the bumps ... as He guides me through the danger
as I scream in agony and fear ... and think Him to be a stranger
