Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
What would my life be
Without Your grace?
How could I live a day
Uncovered-- without Your protection
Breath blows from my mouth
As easily as thought
With no help from me
YOU give me life
You created all
You spark suns to light
And seed night with blossoming stars
Lord of my life
You are my every need
Encompassed in Your love
Is my every need
YOU have my needs
I will trust in You.
I walk the line
I am no longer optimistic
Solely realistic
I cannot live life fully
Without my God's touch and grace
Walk away from me with Misunderstanding
I say what I know
God is my Provider
Healer and Strength
I trust nothing else
I hope on nothing less
I claim my heritage
God has me
I claim my rights as His child
Who needs fake optimism
When I can be realistic?
God
Has
Me
"You loved me..."
Jill sang the words
My heart's surprise
Jesus, blood sacrifice for me
Worthy to ignore my soul
You loved...me
Followed a plan that predated time
There at creation
Scheduling the conference with my heart
The waking of my mind
The freedom of my soul
You loved...me
When I saw death as my out
When my timetable was written
On street corners and in racist thoughts
Deadly thoughts
You loved...ME
When I believed
You
Were a precious figment
Of imagination and faulted hope
Thank you for kindness
Thank you for freedom
Life was hell without You
And preachers tell me
Death will be even worse
So I speak of love songs
I speak of thanksgiving
I pray for my soul here
This tabernacle of my heart
Jesus, the Christ
Sacrifice, final and ultimate
You...loved...me
Help me
Love you, too

Life can beat down the heart and mind when rough times come. Sensible folk, the good character of humanity, learn ways to assuage the harm of time and circumstance's battle against hope, peace, and good will. I am learning now how to show my best face in the rougher times, and I believe that good times lie ahead just beyond the next sunny day. God is kind enough to give me peace, but I must choose to let it reign within me when my grimier parts would rather stand out. How do you cope with the rougher moments, the uglier times, in your life?
