Pause. Breathe. Pray. Poem

2020 PBP Lyrics Pic.jpg

When I woke up this morning, reality set it
I can’t believe this is happening
I see the world we knew changed before my eyes
I must shift my gaze up high

For God you are in this day
So I will pause. breathe. pray.
And seek your Way

Let me look for the helpers living out love
And your hand in this day from up above
Let me know what is mine to say and do
With my eyes fixed on you

When the darkness seems greater than the light
I will trust each step with you by my side
For you are the way, the light, the truth
My hope is in you

For God you are in this day
So I will pause. breathe. pray.
And seek your Way

Let me give thanks for the helpers living out love
And your hand in this day from up above
Let me know what is mine to say and do
With my eyes fixed on you

The uncertainty, the unknown, the doubt, the fear.
Will all wash away when you are near
Give me perspective
Remind me of your truth
Give me wisdom; what is mine to do
And surrender the rest to you...

For my trust is in you.

These words came to me a few weeks ago. I share them with you today in case they can be a comfort to you, as they have been to me.

With love and hope,
