I wrote this poem many years ago, (and may have shared it before), but for some reason it was on my mind again today, so I thought I'd share it with you. Maybe you find yourself today having to start over again. You may have recently experienced the death of a spouse. Perhaps a relationship ended or you found yourself having to accept a divorce you never wanted.
Whatever it may be, remember that you are not alone. God is there and has prepared a way for you. Take His hand. Trust Him. He will take you through this storm.
Beginning Again
I sat alone with the
Lord
My heart bleeding
inside
“How do I begin
again?”
To my Father I cried
“Put your hand in
mine
I’ll walk with you
each step
Put your trust in me
For I know just how
to help”
So I put my hand in
His
He helped me to my
feet
First one step, then
two
The hills became so
steep
Then through the
valleys we went
So far away from the
sun
“Don’t let go of my
hand
For your journey has
just begun”
Though the storms
raged
And the nights seemed
so long
I knew that my Lord
Would never lead me
wrong
At the end of the
journey
On the mountaintop we
stood
I was thankful for
the experience
For at last I
understood
I must go through the
valleys
And feel the rain on
my face
It’s then I grow
close to Him
And understand the
gift of grace
