Starting Over

Where will I go from here?
It seems I've come this way so many times before!
Of all the paths to take
It seems, somehow I choose the same one o'er and o'er!
Am I so blind that I can't see?
It seems that each and every landmark is brand new!
This time, I think it best,
If I just wait for you to tell me what to do!

I'm tired of going 'round in circles.
Dear Lord, take my hand and lead the way.
Once more, I'm starting out all over,
And I know that it's the price that I must pay.
But this time it must be different,
For all the strength I thought I had is gone.
Dear Lord, just hear my cry,
I need your help, please come and lead me on.

So many times I've gone my own way,
It's a wonder that you hear me anymore.
But I hear a soft voice calling
And a gentle hand is knocking on my door.
That sweet, soft voice is saying if I ask
That you'll forgive me, once again.
All I have to do is open up that door
And my sweet Jesus will step in.

No more going 'round in circles
For He holds on to my hand and leads the way.
Oh, yes, I'm starting out all over.
For through His blood the price has all been paid.
And I know this time is different,
For I'm going on His strength and not my own.
Dear Lord, I want to thank you,
For all the great and mighty Love you've shown

Thank you, sis. It is about picking oneself up and going on, with God's guidance, which is what we should all do.

 WOW! I like that. I felt as though I was reading my own thoughts. I certainly understand the emotions behind the words. Thank you very much, Marjorie
