Sometimes we cry

Before God wipes every eye

Sometimes we grapple with fear

Before we see God standing near

Sometimes we get lost

Without knowing the cost

Until God sets our path

Without unleashing His wrath

Sometimes we grapple with doubt

Until God works things out

Sometimes we search for purpose

Until we see it lying at the surface

Sometimes we get turned around

Then God offers us solid ground

Sometimes we search for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Before God offers us a home

Where our souls can roam

Sometimes we see life lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

Sometimes we travel far

As God heals every scar

Sometimes we learn to let go

Of what we used to know

Sometimes we learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Sometimes we wonder what’s in stone

Until we see we’re not alone

Sometimes we smile

Even laugh a little while

Sometimes we build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Sometimes pride gets in the way

Before we hear what God has to say

Sometimes we fall then rise again

Before faith helps us win

Sometimes we give up

Before God fills our cup

Sometimes we look for love

Before we see it in heaven above

Sometimes
