NOW AND THEN

Every now and then
I can’t find the next breathe
I can’t breath
My steps seem to go backward
No matter how hard I try
I find myself shaken
Wondering why Lord why
Every now and then
I don’t seem to have an answer
Just when I need to know it
I get lost
In my own world of fears
My faith seems as small as it can get
Yet here You are Lord
Right where You promised You’d be
Right where you said in your word
Now just believe
Help me in my unbelief Lord
Help me
Every now and then
Everything comes crashing down
And my mask cracks
To let my tears and cry go free
My friends and family can’t understand
My need to be alone with You
Before I go to them
Every now and then
My desire to be home with You
Overwhelms me
How it overwhelms me
Every now and then
You remind me that suffering is just
A little bit of living out
This faith You have given me
And You’ll be there Lord
You’ll be there
