Sometimes

sometimes i forget 

i wasn't guaranteed today,

sometimes i forget

that you hear me when i pray,

sometimes i forget

the mountains are footprints of your design,

sometimes i forget

that i am yours and you are mine.

sometimes i get lost

in all the world will say is true,

sometimes i trade my faith

as an earthly bargain tool,

sometimes when i see 

uncertainty in their eyes

i begin to panic; 

my own fear begins to rise. 

then you rescue me

with your words from ancient days,

showing me your mercy,

as you provide in every way,

you remind me that you've written

all of this in history

and to fix my eyes on you

because you're always fixed on me.
