Mum sent me an email yesterday that contained the lyrics of a song I wrote earlyish in 2008. I had forgotten all about it, probably because I write stuff like this basically non-stop, but she found it in a little writing book that I accidently left behind me when I came to Europe.
It might not make so much sense to just read it, but don't worry - it fits the melody in my head. And it's not really tweaked - just a thought I jotted down before moving on to the next poem in my brain.
Anyway, minus the first verse, it exactly says what I feel today. Couldn't be bothered sticking the chorus in more than once, so if you feel like you must, just read it a few extra times until it feels like a song to you. :-)
When my heart is breaking
When I cannot fight alone
When all my dreams are shattered
And I’m far away from home
When my life is black and empty
When I cannot carry on
When I’ve fallen down and cannot stand
I know you’ll pick me up.
(chorus)
You’re my God, you’re my Father
You’re the One I lean upon
Who hears me when I call
You’re my God, you’re my Savior
I can kneel at your feet
And my life’s complete
Because you are my God.
You are my Provider
My Redeemer and my friend
You’re my anchor and my power
My beginning and my end.
I will never lack for mercy
There’s no ending to your love
You’re the only one who understands
You’re forever God above.
(chorus)
I won’t focus on my problems
They’re very, very small
I will let your face absorb me
And you will be my all.
(and again the chorus)
But today is Sunday, and today, as on all other days, I'm thankful to have a Father who is also my good friend. It's nice to know that my problems are so small in the face of eternity, and that I can keep focused on God no matter what tries to push Him out of the picture.
Blessings, Readers,
That girl in Switzerland

ReplyDeleteHey, thank you, Ash! I'm sorry to hear you're sick, but I'm glad you were reading my blog! (lol...half of that comment was at least halfway a joke...so I guess that makes it 1/4 a joke...but just to clarify, the part that wasn't a joke was the part where I said I was sorry you're sick.) xoxo
