Sometimes

Sometimes I’m confused and don’t know what to do
Occasionally I stumble, fall flat on my face
I make big mistakes, and little ones too,
I trip, blunder, put myself in my place.

Sometimes I’m so tired I don’t want to go on
Every once in a while I can’t see my way
I’m stumbling and tired, I can’t see the Son
I wonder if I’ll ever know the light of day

Sometimes I get carried away by life
Mostly I’m busy, prideful, stressed out
I get caught up in the joys and strife
Of living without you, what’s that about?

Sometimes I stop, to listen and pray
I just want to hear what you want to say
I don’t want to follow in my own way
I concentrate on trying to simply obey

Sometimes I feel your loving arms around me
But sometimes I feel like I’m so alone
I know you are always with me, surrounding
I remember how you sent away your Son

Sometimes I forget how your love abounds
When you wrap me up and hold me tight
I don’t remember the way grace sounds
What it’s like to walk in that marvelous light
