Every Day Life


Every day life
Is like an open wound
Without you, I say
Regret and pain define me
Life goes on in spite of everything,
Until I kneel to pray.

Then,
I see why
Life becomes a window
Shining in darkness
Open to a bright blue morning sky.

Every day life
As each day
Regret and pain define me
Life goes on in spite of everything,
Until I kneel to pray.

Then,
Life becomes a winding road
Without you
Choices lead in all directions
But only one light load.

This is my church
A forest cathedral
In which to trod
That tells me
Who you are
My God.

Eternal life
Is like an open door
With you
My Savior, above
Who knocks and beckons;
“Come follow me,
and be the way of love."
