The Times That Tested My Soul
Lord, I was just thinking today
about my life and how things
have changed...... and how many
times its been shattered and
rearranged.
Those were the times I clung
too tightly to those I loved so
and I had to learn the hard way
sometimes I have to let go.
Those were the times that tested
my soul, and the faith I have in you.
If not for you, I know my world would
have shattered, and I wouldn't have
made it through.
Lord, when I was weak you loaned
me your strength; when I thought
I could not make it another day
You took me by the hand and pointed
out the way.
When I lost those closest to my heart
and life felt so empty, and I felt so alone
You never failed to remind me that
those I clung too were only mine on loan.
And I came to understand it's because
you are a good Father that, from time to
time, you send your angel to collect
your loan and take another loved
one home.
Those were the times that tested
my soul, and the faith I have in you.
If not for you, I know my world would
have shattered, and I wouldn't have
made it through.
