Written from listening to Ellie Holcomb’s song “Oh Rivers”.
When my life is a mess do I remember it will be okay in the end
I found the piece to the puzzle that was missing in my beautiful mess
Do I remember that, God can help me with my puzzle and let Him help me complete it
God has carefully crafted the intricacies of my entire being
I wake up and am I thankful or do I need a new view of the world around me like a child
I wake up and try to make sense of things that were never to be understood on this earth
I open up my eyes, my heart to lay before others to help me develop a new view
I opened up my heart, will others kick it and laugh at the things that I’ve been through
A new view, looking outside and seeing sunshine out of my window
A new view, looking in the mirror do I see a child worthy of being loved by my Father
A new view, looking for the peace in the chaos first instead of the other way around
A new view, looking to my Father for all the answers I never thought were possible to find
If I need help trying to remember that things will work out, help me realize that you know
When my tears start burning my eyes, and I can barely see help me remember you love me
When I look to the cross, please show me a new view of your sacrifice for me
When I get discouraged, and when I feel like giving up, hold me close to your heart
