AWAKENING

Always try to tell this story in a light-hearted way
Pray to God no one can tell
That though my tone says 'yeah, it happened, no big deal'
My heart cries, I lost the two most important gifts in ma life had
Life could not possibly be this cruel, I would cry at night
I put up a brave front; I looked fine
Deep down I was desperate
My faith in God was so low, I could not bring myself to say a prayer
Then at the hospital I saw a very beautiful lady
with worse problems, smile and laugh like life couldn't be any better
That scene never left me
It wasn't overnight, it took some time
But I learnt the lesson
I got my faith back, I learnt to smile again,
This time with my heart
Today I am grateful for the person I am now
God slowed me down so He could show me how
I've learnt to give thanks for the smallest of gifts
to listen more and speak less
to trust Him no matter what the situation
cos I know He will never give me what I cannot handle
I can say God is good and mean it
The Will of God will never take us,
where the Grace of God cannot sustain us
I am not perfect, far from it
but He loves me anyway
