God Loves

Childhood innocence has long-since passed
And youthful excitement has slipped from my grasp
All that’s left for me now is the burden of age
And I often wonder how I got to this stage

Days ebb and flow in a tedious row
With nothing to do and no place to go
But is this the way my life needs to be? 
Or is there something that’s wrong with me?

Dear Lord, I am puzzled,  I guess I should pray
Are you there?  Can you hear me?  Was all I could say
Yet God heard my words and reached down from above
And covered my heart with His blanket of love

He bandaged my wounds with His tender touch
And showed me the kindness I needed so much
His compassions failed not to set my soul free
And my life was made whole by His love for me

So, if your life’s rocky like mine used to be
God is able to help you and He’s always ready
Lift your prayers up to Him and see what He’ll do
Your life will be blessed because He really loves you
