Well, I suppose another item on my "Bucket List" was to write songs... so I suppose I could post this here. It has a tune sort of, but I've no REAL knowledge of the piano or guitar or notation to put it onto paper, though I can whistle it.... hm.
Anyway, here it is.
It's called "Your Hand Catches Me"
There's been something I've been trying to do
Trying to find the life You've made for me
But I've been doing it all on my own
Running and looking and searching alone
You've held out Your hands to help
But I've been too busy to see
It's not that I wouldn't accept it
But it never seemed that concrete
I've given it a lot of thought
And it's just a matter of faith
To believe and follow is all You've asked
With the willingness You've given me
I've tried and failed so many times
This life has wearied me
But I push You away and try again on my own
I can't find the strength to do it again
And You reach out Your hand
I slip as I rise and reaching I cry
And Your hand catches me.
First off, I really wish I could hear you sing this song because I miss your singing voice. :) But second, I have learned so much about the Father now that I am a parent. The way toddlers sometimes just want to "do it myself" because they want to learn and be able to do things themselves, but yet there are many things they can't because they are not ready for it yet. It's in those times that I remember the Father and what He goes through all the time with us and our strong wills to "do it ourselves". If only we could let Him do it, life would be SO much better! But no. We just have to have that satisfaction that we are in control and we can do alone and be "so big". Man. Thank God for His grace, His patience, His compassion, His mercy! It goes on and on and on...
