I asked of the lord in heaven
What be thy will for my life
Will you bear me away on eagle’s
wings
Say this sparrow’s wings perish from
flight
If put to sea and billows catch the
breeze
And sails wont both for the east and
the west
Where dawn’s first light might stir
my soul
Or twilight shadows could lull me to
rest
Wilst thou set my course straight for
the horizon
‘Neath the vault of heaven where the
twain meet
So that somewhere in the fold
I might find my purpose
And therein find true peace
For many tomorrows have I wished upon
That seem to never come
In which waves of the scarlet past
might ebb
So I might embrace what I have become
As I have strived for glories of my own
Masteries which award no crown
Only to find myself clinging to the
cutting edge
Of the blade which does me harm
And no matter the twilight’s that
have faded
And given way to nights upon the sands
of time
My eyes they still try the scars
That bear proof how treacherous heart’s
deceit
For when came a time the forgiven
Declared what the Lord hath done for
the soul
In the name of freedom I
refused
And without
a second thought made my escape
Only to prison myself away
With the key turned of my own hand
And now that I have come to the place
of reckoning
Spent where I should await the worst
upon my knees
Howbeit with one sincere whisper of his name
And the Lord finds it in his heart
To attend the voice of my prayer
And through his manifestation of grace
Count me with the forgiven
And glory me with the honor
Of a second chance at life
