The Strength to Smile

Friday, January 26th, 2007

S’times I lose faith and I start doubting.

S’times I dun listen to U and I start slipping.

S’times I fall into temptations and I kept on sinning.

S’times I question U, I can’t feel U, I’m struggling.

But when I lose faith, U’re there assuring,

When I’m slipping away, U kept on holding,

When I’m weak, U’re strict but U’re still forgiving,

When I ask why - U look at me smiling:

"wait, my dear, for my perfect timing."

LOrd, I always believe U have a plan. We dun always undstnd, esp at times when we dun fl ur presence and c ur blessings, when we so badly want to do it our own way, when we felt dat we have no time to wait. I pray for the faith n determination to take the step when we nd to. Even if it hurts, even when there’s tears.

Coz I noe that Lord, when I break dwn crying,

U’ll give me the strength to wake up smiling.
