Sometimes

We see a new day

Then live a different way

We see a silent prayer

Reveal God is there

We feel weak

Until we hear God speak

We learn to let go

Of what we used to know

And we see what we hold

As our story is told

Sometimes

We grapple with fear

Until we see God standing near

We see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We get turned around

Before God puts us on solid ground

And we fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

Sometimes

We see life lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

We travel far

As we heal every scar

We hear a voice

That makes us rejoice

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We do a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We see a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We follow the light

That shines day and night

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

We break into a smile

Then laugh a little while

We look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Sometimes
