The Steps of a Wandering Heart

I’ve been reflecting on my life today,

On where I stand, the path that led my way,

Reconciling my past, learning what’s true,

Choosing a future with a clearer view.

 

Bread of adversity, water of pain,

Through depths of despair, through hidden terrain,

My Creator knows my name, my heart’s cry,

He knows my journey, and guides me on high.

 

They said love alone could never be enough,

But now I see, that truth is rough.

Without love, we are powerless and lost,

It’s love that transforms, no matter the cost.

 

Humbly I wonder, who am I to be,

In the hands of the One who created me?

May my struggles be worship, my trials light,

May I be molded to shine ever bright.

 

Every bond we hold will face its strain,

None of us immune to the touch of pain.

But in surrender to divine Love’s embrace,

We find a strength to endure the race.

 

It starts with today, then the days that come,

As weeks turn to months, we see what’s begun.

With sacred pause, we look back and see,

How far He has carried you and me.

 

With courage to change, cast aside that which weighs you down, a heart that’s bare,

Step forward boldly, your promised land is there.

The most important steps we take in life:

 

The first, towards the light,

The steps towards truth,

Towards love, towards self,

To stand once more,

To the call that’s yours,

To the one you adore.

 

So tread with care, with humble tread,

On the path where you are gently led.
