Facing every day

As we continue to pray

Dealing with every feeling

As we keep our souls from reeling

Anger, sadness, happiness galore

All fill us to the core

We try to smile

Even laugh a little while

We grapple with fear

Until we see God standing near

We try to rest peacefully

As God works faithfully

We listen to the word

We’ve always heard

We search for a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Until faith fills every soul

And makes us whole

We change our view

After seeing what God can do

Sometimes we’re down

Smiles turned into a frown

Until blessings are granted

And we water the seeds we planted

We wonder what’s by design

Until God shows everything is fine

We find a place

To run our race

We search for our purpose

Until it rises to the surface

We finally settle on solid ground

Share the joy we found

Sometimes we feel weak

Until we hear God speak

Sometimes we cry

As we wonder why

Until God reveals His plan

As only He can

We wonder how to live

How much to give

Until God unveils the journey

Meant for us only

We keep going

All while knowing

That God offers a home

Where our souls can roam
