In My Day

       This is a song I wrote one day when I was tired and obviously frustrated.  It turned out nicely, and helped me think in perspective.

 In My Day 5/20/11

Another day walking, it through,

Another day; the things that I do,

I'm wishing to get away,

Looking for a different way-

I've waited and now I say,

“Take me away from here!

I'm tired of the chaos and tears!”

I say, “Take me away,

 I'm tired of this endless pace-

Oh God, please take me away from here."

But You say, “Look at the people around you-

This is a way for you to reach out. look at your heart,

The way I made you, this to help you grow, this is to help you grow."

~

And so I try, to give and reach too,

And so I try, even when the day's blue,

 I'm wishing to give it all,

Part of me is afraid to fall,

I'm trusting and now I say,

“Help me to live in here!

Squash my little doubts and fears!”

I say, “Help me to pray, I'm ready to go Your way-

Oh God, please help me to drop my fears."

And You say, “Child I always hear you,

This is a way for you to trust more-,

Look at your life, the things I gave you,

In love I help you grow, In love I help you grow."

~

And so I look, at my life now,

And every day, I'm learning how,

And God will hold me here, it doesn't matter 'bout my fears-

He'll get me through the day,

“Jesus, I know You're here!

Grab my heart and hold me near!”

I say, “I need you now, please teach and show me how.

Oh God, please help me to know You're near.

Please help me to know, You're near."
