Sometimes

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

Your Eyes

Your eyes brighten my days

They reveal your loving ways

They make my purpose clear

Before they remove my fear

They are the guiding light

I follow day and night

They help me stand

As I hold your hand

They give me strength

As we talk at length

They offer something pure

They make me feel secure

They travel far

As they heal every scar

They make me smile

They make me laugh a little while

They reveal what’s in stone

Why God never leaves me alone

They set my path

Without unleashing your wrath

They fill me to the core

Before you offer me more

And they offer a home

Where my soul can roam

Your eyes are a treasure

I cherish beyond measure

They fill my dreams

Strange though it seems

They make me see

What’s meant to be

They give me solid ground

They give me the joy I found

They are the blessing granted

I’ll water the seeds I planted

They offer a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They make me feel brand new

They show what God can do

They move my heart

They show me where to start

They help me sit still

As I accept God’s will

I can start again

Faith helps me win

When I look in your eyes
