Thank You

Walking Your mysterious path...
Baby steps... one by one
I left fear at the gate
With only a short hesitate

Thank You for holding my hand, Father
Thank You for leading me
I'm going to make it
With You by my side

Your canvas is preparing for the final touch
The black had been trying to take over
Some days it's all I can see
Some days it's all too much
Thank You for coming in and painting my heart with Your love
And getting me through the tears of grey
Grief is beautiful, once given to You

I'm kneeling here at Your feet
With color streaked across my cheek
Thank You for showing me the white
Thank You for showing me the light
Thank You for holding my hand...
Father
Thank You

Disconnect

Running hearts
Betrayed thoughts
Mama's little baby
Crying on Daddy's shoulder

Day's end
Life's beginning
Night's tests
Morning rest

Better run fast
Before fate flies

Better get on your knees to accept forgiveness
Where shame ends
You win

Running hearts gotta stop and...
Confess

Hearts kept open
Learn life's tests
Pain provides life to spirit
Bitterness provides death

Seek God
There's no way to loose
The Lord is a hot fuse
