The Way Forward
Darkness surrounded us.
As I sat you on the beast.
A move imperative,
A prayer for light restorative
No one can understand
How uncertain in this I am.
Can I know truth in dreams?
Is it love that redeems?
He’s got the whole
world in His hands
He’s got the whole
wide world, in His hands…
The beast snorts and the travel begins
As the dust settles in our pores.
Alone, yet protected,
A star rises in the East, selected.
Shelter comes rough and used
Small and…enough
Rest, dear one.
God is with us, His will be done.
He’s got the whole
world in His hands
He’s got the whole
wide world, in His hands…
Can anything good come from this little town?
Apprenticeship, growth and adventure,
Family and human connection--
Continued compassion, Holy protection.
A man born with a purpose
Travels back to the Sea
And gathers the ones who will walk along side,
Preparing for what God will provide.
He’s got the whole
world in His hands
He’s got the whole
wide world, in His hands…
And I again, must submit to the One
Though fear and the unknown remain.
My heart fills with Hope in the promises for all
For redemption is the utmost call.
Praise be to God for the journeys we’re on
Difficult and unpredictable they may be
For You, Oh God, have a Way so divine,
My prayer for us-- to humbly align.
He’s got the whole
world in His hands
He’s got the whole
wide world, in His hands…
