Array ( [sid] => 113663 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The smatter of rain [time] => 2006-01-23 18:01:43 [hometext] => Written a long time ago on a rainy day [bodytext] => The smattering of raindrops on the window
Reflect the woeful mood within my own soul
As I cry out to the Lord, My God above
I wonder why I just cannot feel His love

Lord, you know me in every detail
You made me, yet all I do is fail
At least that's the way it seems right now
Does the rain share it's feelings somehow?

Is it the fact that all seems to fall on me?
What can I do to let this all simply be?
O Lord, You want all the control of my life
Yet I try to do it myself and cause strife

So why can't I just let You have my all
Why do I let Pride build me up so tall
Is this why I feel so defeated today
Okay, I'm listening Lord--please have your say!

Struggling, I give up the reigns, Here take them, Lord
Just lead me and guide me through your open door!
I need to feel your loving embrace and peace
That can only be found through total release

The sound of the rain seems different now
It's because of your love, I know that's how
So be my Lord over all of my ways
Watch over me for all of my days. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 426 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Lin54 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

I hear ya Linda, tried to go my way these couple last days, had to stop trying to control my life and let Him in on it once again. We do it now and then, its normal, when we just can't seem to feel, or see a new thing about to happen, we are not lost, we are just entering into another step up. Hang in there, something big is about to happen. Those babbling drops are good to hear.. keep listening to those smatters, by the way, nice french term, love it, thank you.. huggs..
