Lost in the night
Hidden from your sight
A thief comes to snatch away your soul
Sadness he leaves
Uncertainty it breeds
Dreams created that leave you morose
When you awake
You’re left with heartache
Looking for the light
Needing help with this fight
Upon the Lord your hope rests
Grace and mercy He provides when you confess
Upon Him you can rely
To take that tear away from your eye
Taking the darkness out of the night
Make your way into His light
Missing you is all I do when I am apart from you
Wanting you is what I need when absent from your arms
Feeling your touch is what I need to sate my desires
Taste of your lips to quench my hunger
You are all I want
You are all I need
To hold you, be with you each and every day.
Today, Tomorrow, Forever
The year is coming to an end
A year that started with a prayer for hope
Soon to find out hope had abandon me
Lost in my thoughts and despair
Hiding from all around me
Pulling away from those who cared
There were times of great joy mixed in
But joy did not bring hope
Lost in meaningless distractions
Losing sight of the one who I loved the most
With a distance growing longer each day
Almost out of view
My year took an amazing turn
I found new life, I found new hope
Was my change too late?
That is an answer for the years to come
Amazing changes to my heart and to my soul
Seeing two of my daughters find their mates
Exchanging vows with the men who took their hearts
Working my way back to the one I love
As this year comes to a close
I report to you that hope has returned
Joy has lifted my heart
Looking forward to the year ahead
Thanking God for all he has done for me
Hope, Joy, Love, Happiness
May these be in store for you this year
Have a Blessed 2017

Unable to accept love was my crime
Feeling that I wasn’t worthy of such a gift
Unsure how to act
When you showed it to me time and time again
A horrible sinner was I
Lost in the aspects of this world
Unable to accept the possibility
Why would you love me
How could you care
What was I to you but unwelcoming
You put people in my life to try to show me how
Pushing them away was my response
But you never gave up
You knew I would
When I was at my lowest
Lost to my despair
You reached out your hand
Took a hold of my heart
Told me that through it all you are my son and I love you still
I could not run any longer nor hide my heart
I am your child and reborn into your grace
Thank you Oh Lord for never turning away.
Thy Will Be Done
by Hillary Scott
I’m so confused
I know I heard you loud and clear
So, I followed through
Somehow I ended up here
I don’t wanna think
I may never understand
That my broken heart is a part of your plan
When I try to pray
All I’ve got is hurt and these four words
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I know you’re good
But this don’t feel good right now
And I know you think
Of things I could never think about
It’s hard to count it all joy
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense
Of all your promises
Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that you’re God
And I am not
So
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness you have in store
I know you hear me
I know you see me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Good news you have in store
So, thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord
