Sometimes Your Glory

Sometimes we don’t want to give
today another chance, and another time around to live
the life that keeps on knocking, pounding on the doors of insecurity
and what lies behind barricaded windows, hidden iniquity
all consuming burdens that weigh heavy on our minds
and sometimes it seems there isn’t enough time
in this world, and it slips away too soon

Sometimes we don’t want to try
the waters of the uncertain life that waits ahead
so strong we think we are, but we crumble like ruins instead
but what do we have to lose? If we could just let go...
and learn more of what it means to trust in You
to leap from giant mountains, lined with edges of trust
and sometimes it seems we forget we were brought from only dust
of the earth, and became more

Sometimes the path is clear
and unbroken lines trace over steps of fear
we walk and we cease to fall
because hope and strength are here to see us through it all, and we
rejoice in simplicity, which is like breathing fresh air
never to forget that among such life, You are there
and sometimes there are blessings undisguised and waiting
in this life, to be thought upon

Sometimes Your glory is found
in what we often overlook when our eyes are fixed
to the shifting ground, and we forget to glance
up and see what was made for us to marvel at magnificence
and promises made before time could dawn upon earth’s
ever changing face, and sometimes we pray for rain
of glory, to see it once again.
