I went for a walk the other day
Down a lonely path – the usual way.
When I heard a voice, I heard Him say,
“My son, mind if I join you today?”
I looked around and tried to see
Who this voice could possibly be?
And what would He want to do with me?
He said, “I can provide all you need.”
I don’t need any such help.
I’m used to taking care of myself.
This is the hand of cards I was dealt.
This is how I have always felt.
“I know you’ve had a difficult life.
It hasn’t seemed fair. It hasn’t seemed right.
But you are holding onto a terrible lie.
You’ve never been alone a day in your life.”
“Those who have hurt you all those times
Were their sinful choices – they were not Mine.”
Where was Your help that I could never find?
Why now show up? Why this time?
“There are things I do you won’t understand.
I have always had for you a master plan.
But it must start with you to see if you can
Why there are holes in My only Son’s hands.”
At those words I felt a tug on my heart.
A love I believed was true and not afar.
He said, “Are you ready for a fresh start?
I’ll give you new life and set you apart.”
“Yes”, I said. “But what should I do?”
“Nothing – Jesus has done everything for you.
Just believe My Word –that all of it is true.
Your old life will be gone – everything is new.”
“I’ll give you my Spirit until I call you home.
He’ll give you a life like you’ve never known.
He’ll soften your heart once made of stone
And remind you always you’re never alone.”
At the cross I see your beautiful way.
My judgment your Son willingly paid.
Please forgive my sins from all my days.
Help me to build an unshakable faith.
“I forgive your sins because you believed.
You’re now My child, so let’s proceed.
With your faith just the size of a mustard seed.
Mountains will move – just wait and see.”
