"Terror"
At times when there is no hope
And no answer all around
You must pray to the source with all your heart
Pray hard and pray long
Pray for as long as it takes
But don't give up what's left of life
Your hope will come at a later time
I've been so stuck I couldn't get out
I lay still and listened
Listened to the soft sounds all around me
Listened to the people coming and going
To leaves rustling in the wind
To the slanting of the sun and the darkness therein
And the hopelessness of the stillness was a wonderful thing
You lay still and quietly wait
The answer will eventually come
If you wait long enough God will forgive you
And someday long way from now
when you feel better about your life
You'll find yourself in a hurry to get there
And you won't be afraid then
You'll smile about it one day
And there won't be any terror
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
