MY FAITH IS IN YOU

A Son’s Pain

by James Toles

Until the end of the day, I sit and pray
Looking towards the heaven, looking toward that day.
The day when life will unfold it’s plan
To a needy young man trying to make it through this land.
Had dreams of wealth, happiness galore
But only received nightmares, Lord I can’t take any more.
Please lead me to that path that You have set for me
My patience is running short. Where do you want me to be?
I know I am one of your angels, one without the wings
I try to be kind and peaceful, bring to people wonderful things.
But I feel more hurt that happiness, tears continue to flow
I see so much more with my life, but things are happening slow.
So I ask you, Father, please show me your full grace
Because I am tired of hiding my smile underneath the pain on this face.
