The Mess Of Me

Breathing in

breathing out

Receiving love

not giving out

We go through life

without a care

We live and breathe

but is He there

Our life is fast

a mist so fine

We look about

where is the time

I thought of this

was then I saw

The mess of me

the hurt so raw

O Lord you knew

where my heart was

An empty vault

devoid of Love

Then I saw

You in the midst

Of where I lived

of what I missed

I searched and searched

but couldn't find

One moment when

my life was fine

Was then You came

and brought to me

The things that only

I could see

My whole life shown

before my eyes

I could not breathe

I could not die

It was right then

I knew I must

Make it right

where was my trust

You worked within

to help me find

Just what I needed
for my moment in time

Then You came
You filled the space
You gave to me
such amazing grace

You saved my soul
You filled my heart
With all the Love
You could impart

Life is still
yet just a mist
But O my Lord
I won't be missed

I'll cross that river
see Your face
And my new home
in Heavens gate
