SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE
Sometimes I feel like
Dry ground just waiting for rain to help push up my grasses and flowers
Sometimes I feel like
A dry creek just waiting for raindrops to turn me into a rushing river
Sometimes I feel like
The gray sky with no rain clouds in the atmosphere
Sometimes I feel like
I am hot desert sand, thirsty and bone dry
Sometimes I feel like
A waterfall that has been forgotten and is silent and still
Then I think of
The promises of blessings from my Creator
Then I think of
These moments and remember sometimes I must feel dry within
Then I think of
How I will appreciate the wet rain of the Spirit
Then I think of
The new life it will bring to a dusty and barren land
Then I think of
My life as being a journey through valleys and mountains
It is all about
Waiting on the Lord for the rain
It is all about
Lifting up my voice with heavenly praises
It is all about
Watching and having faith for the blessings to pour down
It is all about
The fact that time gracefully goes on into eternity
It is all about
Being still and seeking and finding the face of God
Sometimes I feel like
All the words my soul tries to speak, but I become speechless
Then I think of
My sojourn and the promises of brilliant spring meadows
It is all about
Holy rain pouring down on me as I lift up my hands to the heavens
Sometimes I feel like
I am to lie down in green pastures
Then I think of
The Lord being my Shepherd and I shall not want
It is all about
God restoring my soul as my guide on this path of righteousness
Sometimes I feel like
Walking by the still waters and seeking His name’s sake
Then I think of
Not fearing any evil because His rod and staff comfort me
It is all about
That table prepared for me in the presence of my enemies
Sometimes I feel like
My head is anointed with oil and my cup overflows
Then I think of
Goodness and love following me all the days of my life
It is all about
How I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
