i was thinking that if i hadn’t written that song, i would have had to go to our local Christian bookstore and listen to bunches of tracks to find that song so i could sing it.  That’s how i used to spend some of my Saturday afternoons……i’d sit and listen to song after song until i found one that felt “right”, that felt like i could really identify with it, that felt like, well……like it was something i would have written.  I never had a clue then that i’d ever write my own music. 

I’m not sure why i thought about this song this morning…..maybe i need to read the lyric one more time, or maybe someone else needs too……but here it is…..

God Begins

If you said that it would happen to me, i could not believe it was true
if you said that i would go through this test, i have to confess couldn’t see it through
so i wait silently before Him, all the pieces have slipped through my hands
still there’s one thing i cling too, this one hope on which i stand

When the road ends, God begins to do a work that only He can do
When i surrender everything, my hopes and my dreams
His mighty hand of miracles extends
when the road ends, God begins

I’ll remember when i walk through this place, to look for His face through the storm
when i’m feeling that i’ve been cast aside, i’ll run and hide in His arms
and i wail silently before Him, even though i don’t understand
i will trust cause He is my loving Father, and I know that i’m in gentle hands
