You face every day

While trying to find your way

You grapple with doubt

That things will work out

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve scorned

Had your heart torn

You’ve gotten lost

Without knowing the cost

You’ve prayed for strength

While talking with God at length

You’ve wondered what’s in stone

Thought you were all alone

You’ve been down

Had your smile turned to a frown

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve longed for an encouraging word

That deserves to be heard

Until you learned to stand still

Trust God

Then offer a wink and nod

You’ve fallen far

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve longed to be free

Wondered what’s meant to be

You’ve wondered when your purpose

Would rise to the surface

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve thought about the past

Wondered if you’d last

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart won’t release

You’ve tried to dream

Strange as it may seem

You’ve searched for a hand to hold

Wondered if your story would be told

You’ve wondered if your journey

Is meant for you only

You’ve wondered what’s for you

As you tried to change your view

Until you learned to stand still

And trust God

With a wink and nod
