A Journey
How are you?
I don’t know.
I can’t express my feelings –
How can I say what I mean…
If I don’t know?
There’s a deep, dark pit of anger,
And a well flowing over with hope.
I’m in an abyss of sorrow and then
I’m floating on a cloud with joy.
I know You’re always with me
But why do I feel alone?
If I push You away, You’re still there,
Still watching over me.
Hold my hand, let me see
I need to feel Your presence
I feel like I’m going crazy –
In a circle, round and round
I guess that’s why it’s all spinning
In front of me, fast, so I don’t notice most of it.
Where am I?
Who am I?
What do you want from me?
I wish You’d just tell me, at least then
There would be a reason for the chaos.
Leave me alone!
But wait, where are You going?
I can’t make up my mind,
But I want it to go my way
What is my way? Does any one know?
Can you point me in the right direction?
I heard there’s a Man
Who heals the sick
Gives sight to the blind.
Can He help me, do you think?
Look! There He is… my goodness, what a throng!
Do all these people want His help?
How can He be so kind?
Doesn’t He ever run out of strength or power?
I’m next, it’s my turn now…
What will He tell me to do to be healed?
How much do I have to pay Him?
All He does is hold me, strong and safe
In His arms. He said,
Just take it, it’s free – I died,
So you could live more abundantly.
Now I’m free, I’m safe, and I’m happy…
Because He healed me.
My Cross
My cross was big and rough.
My cross was borne by Jesus
And I can’t thank Him enough!
My cross brimmed full with sin.
My cross was lifted off me—
I looked and saw it was Him.
Now gleames; it shines as gold.
Since Jesus bore my burden of sin
I am bound for joys untold!
