She waits everyday… from dawn to dusk…
She waits everyday… with no luck…
She waits everyday… years go by…
She waits everyday… at times wondering why…
“Do you not grow tired of waiting?” they ask…
Yet she waits everyday… heart set on the task…
There are days when she stumbles, days when she falls…
Yet she rises each time, standing strong and tall…
One day she will find
The exact plan God had in mind…
For He has made everything
beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
There is a certain coldness
That heat can’t melt away.
There is a certain aloneness
Since nobody chooses to stay.
Thoughts come and go
Time just passes by.
I don’t no what to do so
I just lie here and cry.
If I try to explain
It doesn’t make any sense.
To those who don’t know this pain
It’s just a bunch of nonsense.
I’m not sure if I will ever find
Someone who can truly love me…
After seeing my wounds and hurts and mind…
And still love what they see.
This is just a feeling, I know I’m loved
By the one who created the stars above…
By those who I call family and friends…
Their love for me will never end.
Here I sit, far away…
Wondering if anyone would ever stay…
When things get real and life gets rough…
When everything in life seems tough.
Is it really that hard to hold my hand?
Is it really that hard… with me to stand?
Why is it always someone else who occupies the heart?
Will I ever get an opportunity… to even start?
Yet, this I believe, that God has a plan…
Above every possible imagination of man (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Someday He will let me see…
What He really wanted me to be.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To know when love starts.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To be in someone’s heart.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To not hide under this hood.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To be understood.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To smile without reason.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To have someone in every season.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To have a future in sight.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To have someone who feels right.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To have something more than lust.
I’m not sure what it feels like…
To have someone you can trust.
There are sorrows, there are burdens
There are joys, there are dreams…
There are treasures, there are secrets
Life is more intricate than it seems…
There is so much within us
And there is so much we keep
Fearing that we would be judged
To be too cold… or too deep
To the world we try
To show a side which could sell
All the while our true selves
Hide in our shells…
We fear anyone who gets too close
We try to hide… yet we let them see
All the while… wondering if they really understand
How our hearts long to be set free…
I wait here standing in the night…
Searching for a glimmer of light.
In every direction I try to find…
A shadow… formed from light of some kind.
Why am I here… my heart repeats…
Why does my heart even beat?
Is there something more to this life…
Than the pursuit of happiness… and strife?
As I search for answers… the stars emerge…
And I feel my hope surge.
You are the way, the truth, the life, the light (John 14:6, John 8:12)
Like stars glimmering in the midnight.
When you are lost
and when you feel afraid…
Remember that you were fearfully
and wonderfully made. [Psalms 139:14]
When you feel numb
and everything is slipping like sand…
Remember that you
are engraved on God’s hands. [Isaiah 49:15-16]
When you feel lonely
and when you feel betrayed…
Remember that God will never forsake you…
and with you, He will always stay… [Deuteronomy 31:6]
When you feel tired
and you have tried your best…
Bring your burden to Him
for He will give you rest. [Matthew 11:28-29]
When you feel that you are not good enough
or that you have guilt you can’t be free of…
Remember that God died for you
Because of His everlasting love. [John 3:16]
