My Tomorrows

I haven't lost hope, perhaps contrary to the tone of my last post. I'm not happy with where I'm at now, but I'm sure there are good things ahead still. In fact, it is in the midst of suffering that I feel I experience the most growth in my relationship with God, determined as I am to hear his voice and have confirmed for me that I do not ever have to go it alone.

Here's a song that expresses well, for me, the idea of being given hope in the midst of regret:


God Gave Me Back Tomorrow
Ray Boltz

There are voices on the road of life
And I have made choices
That I know weren't right
And they brought me to my knees
At the end of a lonely street
And I am standing here today
I want to say

CHORUS:
God gave me back tomorrow
When I threw tomorrow away
He took this life
Full of sorrow
And suddenly everything changed
The moment it happened
It was the moment I knew
It was like walking in the darkness
When the light comes shining through
I said that God gave me back tomorrow

When you're struggling
With the guilt and shame
You traded your tomorrows
And all you got to show for it
Was heartache and pain
And it's brought you to your knees
At the end of a lonely street
He is standing here today
And he'll help you say

CHORUS (repeat)

The moment it happened
It was the moment I knew
It was like walking in the darkness
When the light comes shining through
I said that God gave me back tomorrow


The lines not in italics are the parts that especially stuck out, that seemed almost as if they were a response to the gloom I felt yesterday.
