Serenity
Sometimes I wonder;
What does God want from me?
His plan is unknown;
To my anxious heart;
On the bridge, I see a river;
I feel it flowing beneath my feet;
Only the wood and concrete structure;
Keeps me from falling in;
I worry about where my life is going;
And I wonder where it will end;
I have learned that there are things;
That I cannot control;
And I have to trust;
That He will do what is best for me;
He gives me a free will to make choices;
All having an end-result;
I have to accept responsibility;
For the choices I have made;
Letting go of pride;
Letting go of self;
Letting go of worldliness;
And all of its temptations;
As I watch the sun;
Dance upon the water;
I know that I have just discovered;
The secret of true happiness;
And have finally obtained;
A real sense of peace;
For my troubled soul
