I drift like a foreigner on the sea, surrounded by a cloud of uncertainty.
The Lord has spoken "Peace be still," If I could only control my mind and will.
There are days when I am ready to give up, and then all of a sudden, I remember what I am fighting for.
Who knew a body could endure so much? Who knew a soul could love so deep?
Certainly not me, oh the memories I must keep.

As I feel so alone in a world I created called "ME". The Lord gently whispers, there is so much to consider, look and see!
In the eyes of the stranger on the street, in the heart of a family you may never meet, there is a story needing to be told.
Perhaps there is a grieving soul that you can hold.
Somewhere a child is crying.
Can you consider another?
Someone clings to a family member who is dying.
Not far away, sits a grieving mother.
Follow me around the corner; someone has no warm place to sleep.
Will someone shine LIGHT in this dark place?
The pain cuts like a knife, so very deep.
Oh, Lord, remove the blinders- wipe the tears from my face.
Me, myself, and I have now faded into a sea of His great love.
The rain of his tender mercy falls like rain from above.
There is a longing to be carried away to rest in the sun.
Carried away to feel the gentle breeze.
Carried away to a place of laughter and fun.
Carried away to look upon the mighty seas.
How many whisper inside "Let me be carried away"?
Carried away to the place where someone wants to hear what you need to say.
Carried away where no one counts rights and wrongs.
Carried away to find healing for the heart.
Carried away to the place everyone can belong.
It is time for a new day to start.
Look now and see a glimpse of God's peace.
As you trust Him you will find it will never cease.
