When I look
When I look for
Love, Security, Hope and
Faith in Bank Accounts, Trust Funds,
Government Assistance, Jobs,
Lovers and Friends, it only proves that
I am not ready for what
He is about to do in my life.
When my vision is
Rooted too deep in the
Tangibility of this life, I only
Set myself up for utter
Failure and Disappointment.
These tears I cry are
Tears that lack direction
For the Dream I am to have.
When I look now,
I look to Hills, Valleys,
Rivers and Streams-It's
In the stillness of This
Presence that I find my
Relief from looking in all
The wrong places that held me down.
I see Life as backwards,
Everything is upside down...which
Is why I have to change my Vision...
I'm no longer looking down BUT UP.
Up to the sky is where
I see all the things that He
Has in Waiting there for me to
Reach Out and Grab-It's mine!
When I look for Him,
I find He has already found me.
