Another day

As I awake to yet another day

The pain in my heart isn’t going away

Just trust God I hear people cry

But still, there lingers the anguished ‘why’.

Why has this happened to our beautiful son?

Things could be so different when all is said and done

Life doesn’t always work out the way we think

Instead many of us are left just wanting to sink

Questions abound, and regrets raise their ugly head

And yet I have to keep coming back to what I’ve read

God is faithful, He will not let me down

I need to remind myself that He wears the crown

So please don’t tell me I should do this and the other

I don’t need another lecture as I’ll run for cover

I need space and a lot of time

To rediscover that I am His and He is mine

Life will never be the same again with all this pain in my heart

Yet with the Lord each day offers a new start

Tomorrow is promised to no-one

So find God as He beckons us to come

If I wake tomorrow to begin another day

I can know deep down that He will make a way

I can’t do this in my own power

It has to be God or I will again cower

Will the why and the pain ever go

It won’t in this life but this I know

That God is able to keep me from falling

Even when I’m weak and not calling
