An Hour With You
My Letter To God
I'm writing You this letter
In thanks for the pain and tears
That You've allowed in my life
Over all these years.
There were times when I begged you
To please release my pain
And often I would wonder if
My cries were in vain.
Somehow I always managed
To go forward with my life
Muddling through and surviving
All my perceived strife.
I was blind, as You know
To what You had in store
Not realizing at the time
How you were opening a door.
I know I made the choices
That caused me all my pain
But You've allowed me to experience the joy
Of turning that pain to gain.
And so it is that finally
I've come to understand
That all of my past's good and bad
Have been guided by Your hand.
So thank You, Dear Heavenly Father
For being always with me
And guiding me as I become
The woman I was meant to be.
