SECOND CHANCES

You're here a Little Early

He Said as I Stood Tall

What Brought you Here so Prematurely

Did you Take a Fall


I Knew not how to Answer Him

My Lip Began to Quiver

At Once I Felt so All Ashamed

My Knees Began to Shiver


He Rose up from his Mighty Throne

And Slowly Came to Me

Wrapped His Arms Around my Head

And Began to Comfort Me


I Expected You One Day my Son

That Day was Not Today

Now I Need you to Confess

Just How This Went Astray


Why Didn't you Just Trust in Me

To Take you Through the Trials

Then Took my Face into His Hands

No Point in Your Denial


I Clinched His Robe and Begged Him Please

I Need to Just Come In

But in My Holy Father's House

My Verdict Now was Sin


There was no Sacrifice to Cover

The Awful Thing I'd Done

His Holiness Withdrew from Me

So Now I Stood Alone


Desolation Came on Me

Like Water from a Wave

My Heart Sunk Deep into my Chest

Eternity the Grave


Now Just as I began to Leave

All Hope for Life in Heaven

Tears of Joy Filled Both my Eyes

My Alarm Clock Just Struck Seven

I create anxiety for others when I worry over that which I have no control; thereby creating events and circumstances that God did not intend to be created as He works through my problem. I can prevent much by being peaceful, by being centered, by being kind, devout, and content. Mostly, all things will find their stasis when I am grateful.   I am grateful for my parents, who loved me each in their own ways; for my siblings who still love me, and whom I love dearly. I'm grateful for my home; for the dog that loves me even when I don't deserve it. I'm grateful for the career that I chose early on in li

Forgiveness

On bended knee I seek you My father whom I trust I feel your disappointment My pain and shame too much Too much for whom a voice replies You forget now where you tread When first you called upon my name My hand was on your head I cast your sins from east to west I forgive you now my son Your price was paid upon a cross Your soul at stake was won What's past is past I heard him speak Now go and sin no more Find a wife that loves me too And watch my blessings pour I'll teach her all about you What comforts you in pain And how you love to take a walk In the summer evening rain The man in you will quickly be The sunshine in her life She'll have your love the rest of days And be your faithful wife She'll have to learn how to forgive For you're a complex man But if she does her life will be Amazing through my plan So too it's you that now must learn To trust me in the rain For when you walk I walk with you That's where I heal
