Hope

Rain splashed my face
as I looked to the sky
rain drenched my hair
as I asked why
why now of all times
Lord, why this
why now of all times
when I most need my bliss
when I most need a smile
I just get a frown
when I need to be lifted
I just get pushed down
when I think life's good
I find out it's not
when I've just found my page
I suddenly lose my spot
when I want to feel pain
I find out I can't
when I just want to cry
I simply can't
Lord, give me direction
please, clear my sky
and Lord, if you don't
at least let me cry!
Lord, give me a rainbow
please, take the clouds away
give me a rainbow
or a sunny day
give me a sunset
of glorious pink
please give me a sunset
before my hopes sink.
Rain splashed my face
mingling with tears
as my kind Savior
washed away my fears
in the distance I saw
the sun begin to shine
and with it, a hope
He gave to be mine
once again I looked
and I could see
a rainbow, I knew
He placed there for me
on the horizon
the clouds cleard away
and I saw a sight
that made my heart pray
the sky turned to
a brilliant pink
before the sun
could slowly sink.

But Quickly I saw
the bright colors fade
as they all did
what thier Lord bade
slowly the world
grew silent and dark
from east to west
the diference was stark
I wondered if I
could survive the next night
it seemed so dark
so void of light
I felt, once again
tears sting my eyes
the tears broke loose
dispite all my tries
Lord! I cried, not again!
I've been through all this before!
Shhh, my daughter, came a small voice
just look up once more
there in the east
was a small little light
seeming so far
yet growing so bright
I looked even closer
I saw the bright moon
and wonderd if
the stars would come soon
but I knew that the moon
shining so bright
was a sign that He'd be with me
both day and night
