Watch and Pray!

I slid through the mud onto my knees and my feet gave way to the darkness underneath. The grated cold chilled my flesh and imprinted my elbows with it's laugh. I lifted my chin as my lips trembled and my tears left a stream flowing into the blood. Lord this hurts so much... why does it have to be this way?

Child hold on...be strong. Watch and pray.

I lifted the covers up above my knees and shivered trying to repress the memories. The darkness wafted in and permeated my being like a stench. I lifted up my arms as my face fell forward. Lord this hurts too much...why are you letting this darkness stay?

Child hold on...be strong. In time you will see how all this was meant to be. But for now, watch and pray.

I climbed up to the top of the mountain, and searched every sea trying to see what Your master plan was meant to be. I knew there would be more hard times, i knew i couldnt stay. I am falling asleep and I don't know what tomorrow will be. I lift my hands up to the sky, I raise my eyes to look into grace. Lord this will hurt so much...do i dare trust you with what will be?

Child, keep on, stay strong. Watch and pray.
