In His Hands

i pressed the delete key a 100 times today,
in an effort to erase all my mistakes.
i realized you can't erase all the errors,
you can only learn to forgive yourself
and let go of the guilt.

the thoughts in my head form like words in alphabet soup.
nothing makes sense but i always pull through.
my guardian angel must be exhausted.
there's dozens of times i should've been hurt.
i never think too far ahead.
i can barely survive the moment i'm in.

my life is a testament to perserverance.
i could've given up a million times,
but the holy ghost whispered telling me to forge ahead.
i don't know where i'm going.
God never shares his plans,
but i put my life in his hands.

when i'm worn out and beaten down,
his sweet spirit wraps around me
and drives out the cold.
my sorrows are never mine alone.
when i cry Jesus weeps with me.
my soul is soothed by praying in his name.

i place my hopes where i cannot see.
my faith is resilant and
when darkenss creeps up on me,
all i need to do is let his light in.
to believe is easy to give up control is hard,
but my life runs better when i put it in his hands
instead of my own!
