We face every day

As we try to find our way

We wonder what’s in stone

Before we see we’re not alone

We wonder what’s for us

Exactly who we should trust

We look straight ahead

While filled with dread

Before our purpose becomes clear

We hold our faith near

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we’ll win

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We finally ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We open our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

We search for a place

To run our race

Before God turns us around

Then puts us on solid ground

We learn our name

We let go of our shame

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We stumble here and there

But God offers tender loving care

We count every blessing granted

We water the seeds we planted

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We find a home

Where our souls can roam

We grapple with doubt

Before God works things out

We finally find a treasure

We cherish beyond measure

Then past another test

Just like all the rest
