I'M ON MY WAY

 

On my way, and coming back 

To your ways Lord

The faith I lacked is mine now to keep

I believe more than I ever did before

My trust in You Lord, will for ever be with me

Through all the places--as a child----I have roamed

My thoughts were like I was already grown

Still a part of me that's quiet and not wild 

 

Let's look over and not look back

From the times, I needed You to carry me---Thank You for that

I've come to a new realization

That to worry, creates fear

Fear causes anxiety and

Anxiety can be distractive for sure

 

I've needed to wait for Your call

And not do things my way

So to block the faults and miss the stumbles

I'll just be my quiet self and not grumble

Your blessings, as I look around

Are from when You picked me and from the cold, dark ground

 

I see now, where losses have turned to gains

Even through the storms with the unwanted rains

You paved my way, but it's not over

Till you come and say----

I want you to come over into

My mansions, filled with beauty, love and song

No need to worry, there nothing will go wrong

 

He tells me if I have a mountain you're trying to climb

Leave it to me and let's then chime

And sing and dance and clap our hands

There will  be many of your family and

Many from across the land

Let love shine through You now, and

Get a taste of what's above

For every and eternally in your new home

 

Goodnight my friends and close your eyes

You could see visions of me in the sky

The stars a-glittering will help you out

As we get together and praise, sing and shout

 

Hallelujah ---- Praise you Lord
