Hello All,
I do not know anyone on this thread BUT I'd like to join in.
Here is one I wrote a few years ago.
Give me ONE Day
Give me the Lord, then give me one day.
If I want to survive there's no other way.
For my life to have meaning I know I must say.
Give me the Lord, then give me one day.
My life had no meaning, no purpose or aim.
Lost in the cycle of shifting my blame.
For no one must ever peer into my soul.
They may see my sorrow, my endless black hole.
So give me the Lord, then give me one day.
I'm looking for peace, maybe this is the way.
I've tried being empty, no light in my day.
Now give me the Lord, then give me one day.
My childhood was empty, or so I've been told.
I don't have the courage to watch it unfold.
My eyes are wide open but still I am blind.
A slave to the terror of what I may find.
So give me the Lord, then give me one day.
I long to be whole, I long for today.
I live with tomorrow and yesterday.
Now give me the Lord then give me one day.
If painting a picture what choices exist?
What colors emerge from dysfunctional bliss?
The black seems so vivid, the white so blase.
But where are the others, Lord, where is my gray?
It's time to examine all that is here.
I'm tired of living in panic and fear.
I know my God loves me, I need nothing more.
My life is recovered when I open His door.
So give me MY Lord, then give me His Day.
My life now has meaning. I know how to play.
Each day a bright morning during which I shall say,
Please give me my Lord, then give me one day.
