START

So many thoughts and feelings this day

Sorrow and doubt wanting me to dismay

Yet God pulls me closer even in the chill

He’s working for good that is His will

The sun is setting but it soon will return

Filling me up with more feelings to yearn

A new day, a fresh start, on the mystery of life

Moving on and not giving up even in strife

The prayers on my heart are too numerous to count

And the people I care for are those I worry about

For some they need peace on this tragic day

Others for clarity and understanding His way

Then there are some who need rest and relief

And those that wake up only knowing hardship and grief

For them that need healing, I pray that they find

That God is the ultimate healer of any kind

Lord, I’m so grateful for all that You do

Even though I can feel unworthy of You

You care for me so much and love me even more

Despite my past actions, You love me to my core

I’ve given You my heart and I’m thankful to be

Your heavenly daughter with a life to lead

So guide my footsteps and guard my heart

I want to live life for You, just help me start
