ONE
I woke up this morning, a smile on my face I can't remember the last time that happened Or what kind of space I was occupying But I wasn't complaining I picked up my Daytimer, browsed through the lists Of the work I could do, and the calls that I'd missed And my smile sank down into my chest Where my worries were waiting REFRAIN One day, God will make everything all right He'll transform it all into day from night But today I need a glimpse of what's real to Give me courage TWO I put down my lists and glanced up at my wife Who was stifling a giggle while watching the life Of our kids hanging upside down - from each other My Bible sat brown on the shelf holding treasures I hadn't yet thought of like overflowing measures Of joy and love - Just waiting for me THREE "Don't grow weary of doing good," that's what he said But sometimes that first step feels like lifting up lead But afterwards - I feel light as a feather So I've decided to do what I can every day To open my eyes to the things I'll feel and do and say Up in heaven - That's what's real. |
