I’m living in the shadow of yesterday
With dreams I had for tomorrow
But the plans are shattered more each day
As I try to hide the sorrow.
*
When life is so out of focus
And my feelings have all grown numb
I think there must be more to life than this…
I’ve become a circle of one.
*
Decisions are hard to come by
There’s no trust even in myself.
Yet there’s a will to survive inside us all –
That may be all of “me” that’s left.
*
But whatever there is within me
I must turn it into something more.
I can’t live my life for others now
And they can’t see the world from my shore.
*
We all have our own life’s story to tell
And not one is worse than the other.
But there must be common ground somewhere
And a balm to ease the struggle.
*
Take the good you see in me
And learn from it if you will.
But when you observe the wrong I do
I hope you can accept me still.
*
I don’t anchor my soul on anyone else
I want no one’s weight on me.
So I leave my burdens at the foot of the Cross
And Jesus sets me free.
