We sit alone

Wondering what’s set in stone

We wonder what to say

As we begin to pray

We try to fill our days

By changing our ways

Our minds long to be free

While searching for what’s meant to be

We try to plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

We look all around

For solid ground

Before our purpose appears

And God removes our fears

We reach our peak

When we hear God speak

Then keep climbing

With God’s timing

We lie awake

Wondering how much we can take

We long to fill the soul

With what makes it whole

We turn and look ahead

While full of dread

We search for a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

We try to settle down

Try to remove our frown

We try to ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We try to sit still

While accepting God’s will

We learn as we go

We share what we know

Another chapter begins

Faith finally wins

We learn to stand

While holding God’s hand

And keep climbing

With God’s timing
