an "ah ha!" moment

terrible day terrible day terrible day terrible day
whine at God n' cry
terrible day terrible day terrible day terrible day
annoy people closest to me with more whining

whine whine whine whine whine
sulk in my room and cry some more....

tired of whining, flip open Bible by happenchance
pray to God and ask for clarity

shown sin, and path to righteousness
obey God, ask forgiveness, seek humility

and suddenly,
the day's not so terrible anymore.

heart problems

not of me but of a father of a sister close to my heart...
------------------------------------

Lord, i trust. i know.
you've given.
and if you take,
who are we to say
it was ours to start?

but above all, YOU ARE GOOD.

please Lord, in this time,
comfort, comfort my people, you say
for our sins have been paid for
our striving has ceased

for we pray comfort, comfort
for our worrisome souls.
for our fragile bodies.
comfort, comfort
even though death has lost its sting
it's victory, it's horror
before the cross

help us, help us
to seem, to know
that mortal death is but sleep
a closing of the eyes

for soon we will rise
and in this time,
sorrow has no place,
suffering has no mention,
for the dead in You rise first
and we who are still alive will join up
with them in the clouds

and as you promise.
THEN... we will be with the Lord forever.
as we have always been
for "never will i leave you"
"never will i forsake you"
