Believe...!!!!

I got up early one morning

And tried to worship God like I usually would do

I attempted to pray, but couldn’t get the words out

So I thought to sing – that always worked, but not that day

I was grateful to be alive, but didn’t know how to tell the ONE who made that possible

I was thankful to be saved, but couldn’t quite find the words to convey this

And then I turned, looked at  my husband and smiled

In quick succession, I recalled how I birthed my children and then I sighed

Almost like in a cinema, I watched how my life had been – my past flashed before me; scene after scene

I remembered my moments of shame, of guilt and how sad I once was

But then, a victorious chant of “halleluyah” filled my thoughts

And then I realized that it is a lot easier to worry over what had been lost; what could have been

Than it is to be glad for what you have left; what can still be achieved

He put a song on my lips that day – a melody in my heart:

Only believe

Just believe

Yes believe

That everything will be alright

Only believe

Just believe

You’ve gotta believe

There is hope for your soul.
