CONTEMPLATING WHAT WILL BE

Contributed by Rous on Sunday, 28th November 2004 @ 08:07:54 PM in AEST
Topic: spiritual

I lay awake and contemplate
My life and all its flaws.
The shining light that burns so bright
Reminds me of the laws.
Inside my mind, I am quite blind
To everything that is.
I wrap around, lie on the ground
And mimic all that lives.

I’m left alone, I must atone
For sins that I’ve committed.
My soul is lost, but that the cost,
The price that I’ve remitted.
I cannot say what price I’ll pay
Before my life has ended.
With my ending, there’s no mending
‘Tis death I’ve befriended.

Within the strife that is my life
There swirls a dark design.
The thoughts remain within my brain
And steal all that is mine.
But wait, the Light, so pure and white
For me does intercede,
To ease my woes, from words and blows.
To rescue me from need.

All that I am, breaks down the dam,
I rush on towards the sea.
As freedom rings, my soul, it sings
With joy that I am me.
Released at last, all gone is past,
I face eternity..
Safe in His hand, I know I am
All I was meant to be.

I stand in awe, before the Law
That made the universe.
I realize, viewed through His eyes
I’ve made my life much worse.
I could not see past what was me,
And see the greater plan.
The things we’ve tossed, carelessly lost,
Too scared to trust His hand.

So now I wait, beside the gate
The judgment I am due.
I stand before one who gave more
Than I could ever do.
I rest now, sure my life is pure
I walk the fields of heav’n
I revel in my lack of sin
And praise all I’ve been given.

For now I know my life below
Was worth the pain and tears.
My searching for perfection’s door,
My flight from endless fears.
My journey’s end, brings unknown friends
They come to welcome me.
We’ll spend our days in endless praise
To God, eternally.
