Sometimes

Sometimes everything seems wrong in the world
You don’t look right, don’t feel right,
Your hair is a mess and your clothes are too tight.

Sometimes you long for a do-over

A chance to crawl back into bed
 To start the day again, but this time without that awful dread.

Sometimes you wonder what is going on.

Why does life seem so limited?
Why don’t you have the things you always wanted?

Sometimes it gets a little weary

Your steps get a little slower
And you wish the next life was a bit closer.

Sometimes you cry out in the darkness

And hope that someone will hear.
Just one someone to hear and to care.

Sometimes you need to melt into the darkness.

You have to feel the pain and its immeasurable weight
Before you can fully embrace God’s pure light.

Sometimes you just want to give up

There are times when all you can do is fall on your face,
But know that God is waiting and is offering you His Grace.

Sometimes it is in your weakness

That you realize your own strength
And find the courage to go the full length.

Sometimes when everything is amiss

That is the time that you need to find your own song
The song that lets the world know you’re still here and you’re strong.

Sometimes in the midst of your drought

You may forget what this life is all about
But know that your Father has already prepared the way out.

Sometimes you have to close your eyes

Take a DEEP breath, in and out,
Lift your hands to God and just SHOUT!
