Sunday's food for thought

Never alone

By: Hilary Weeks

Why did this happen

Do you know what’s happened to me

And heaven were you watching

Were you watching over me

Cause the way I’ve been feeling

Well I’m feeling so alone

So if you hear this prayer

And if I’m not alone

I need to know

I need to know you’re there

I need something to hold on to

I need someone who will care

Carry me home

And Carry me through somehow

Make sense of this pain

And show me the way

Cause when the darkness comes I’m a prisoner to my fears

Although I’m listening, the doubt is all I hear

But then I reach for your hand

And feel you reaching back

And the light returns

And I begin

I begin to understand

My soul can feel the mercy

And the love in your flesh

And when I let go

And turn all the hurt and sorrow over to you

The burden is light

And trusting I find

Though the storms roll in and the winds of change may blow

I know you let them come so that I can learn and grow

And when I reach for your hand,

I feel you reaching back

And that’s how I know

I am never alone
