let me be grace and forgiveness
so today
if i stumble in word or deed
please help me

on this new day

on this new day
so i woke up
and all the clouds
remind me of the words i said
oh God
the words i said
the anger in my head
so i woke up
and all the clouds
can’t hold the tears
that just rain down
down down
it hurts
and i don’t know why
oh those clouds in the sky
so i woke up
and all the clouds
press on my shoulders
and i manage to pray
oh God
i just want to be okay
just one day
can i be okay
one day
faith
help me to trust
that just behind
those clouds
Your promises still shine
help me to hear
the light of Your words
and rest
oh God i’m so tired
so i rest in You
hope
i choose to reach
beyond the now
one day
only light
and no more tears
so today
while i’m in the clouds
i place my hope
in You alone
in You alone
love
let me see
Your Light
let me know
Your promises
let me hope
that one day soon
all will be well
all must be well
because You
are Love
You are Love
so i woke up today
and all the clouds
remind me
that today right now
You are here
not hidden
so i’ll search for You
and make it through
this cloudy day
with You
with You
so here we are again
another day has dawned
lets get it right today
and see what we’ve become
so here we are again
another chance to love
to give and not to take
to set our hearts on things above
dear God we need to hear your voice
let all the change i want to see
let all the change begin in me
dear God
please
change
me
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
do you have hope
do you have peace
do you
what is your why
did you rise with the light
has the light dimmed inside
angry again
did you let it go
will you finally forgive
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
does fear guide you
is unrest your norm
what do you worship
and what of love
did you lock up your heart
is love pain free
what makes your cry
where does the sorrow come from
do you feel
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
are you free
are you waiting
are you remembering
where do you look
where is your comfort
where is your healing
how are you doing
really
is there color in your step
a reason to see a new day
something to live and die for
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
I recently took a walk on the 606 with my grandson. What is the 606 you say? Here is some info from the excellent 606 website:
The story of The 606 begins just after the Great Chicago Fire. In their efforts to rebuild the city, the Chicago City Council gave permission for the Chicago & Pacific Railroad to lay tracks down the middle of Bloomingdale Ave. (1800 N) on Chicago’s Northwest side. The move helped connect goods from outlying rail ports to the busy Chicago River, and supported Chicago’s burgeoning industrial growth.
You can read more at the website. If you are ever in Chicago, it is worth taking some time to walk the 606. It was a cold day, but we just loved the sights and sounds of our walk.
Morning workout at the gym… check! Taking time to give thanks for a new day and enjoy a sunrise… check! Have a great weekend. “The nook” is a nickname for my home town, Minooka, IL. Thanks for stopping by.
