“Yea Through the Grace of God Go I” copyright 2005 John J. Rigo “Roses Amidst Thorns”

 

I have been where you are

a hell of loneliness and despair.

Had I created this place in my past

as you are now

where I was once?

 

I ask myself what pains cross your mind

as this day of many comes to you?

Do you hunger?

Are you without sleep?

 

The night only brings fear for your life.

Are you without anyone who cares

where you are this day?

Are you missed?

 

I too have been where you are.

From ashes of the mind did thou raise me

from a pit of worldly hell.

 

It was not my talents of mind

nor spirit that lead me from this dark world.

It was my prayers.

 

You never failed to hear me

when I cried out to you.

When I tried to end this life

you spoke gently to me

asking me to be patient

and wait one more day.

 

One day lead to another.

Finally the sun began to shine again

in your blessings and your love for me.

 

Thank you Lord

for giving hope to the hopeless

as you gave to me.

 

Thank you Lord

for loving me when I was without love.

Yea Lord without your grace

would I now be lost.
