another day

a few days ago on a cloudy rainy day one of my customers (I drive a delivery truck) commented on it being a lousy day to be out driving. My response was that it wasn't so bad and we need a couple of bad weather days to better appreciate the good sunny days. That got me thinking about good and bad days, you know the sun is always shining... even during bad weather, the clouds just get in the way for us to see it. Sometimes we have bad days unrelated to the weather and we can't see the good that's around us because the bad stuff gets in the way. God's love for us never changes. His Son, Jesus, is always there but sometimes the clouds get in the way and we can't see him. I think we have all experienced this, I mean we all have "bad stuff" in our lives and sometimes it can really cloud things up. But on those lousy cloudy days remember... behind the clouds awaits the sun to shine another day. I wrote a song about this, I'll include the lyrics below...
peace, m

Another Day
(C) 2009 Michael Broersma

I've been lost myself, felt the fear of being alone, an unknown
Could see no way out, like I was wondering round in a maze, mindless cliches
I've questioned myself, when answers seemed so hard to find, for I was blind
Wrestled with my doubts, struggled to make sense of it all, I felt so small

Sometimes it seems unfair and sometimes it's hard to even care
Is anybody there?
I felt my spirits drain cuz I've been caught out in the rain
But behind the clouds awaits the sun
To shine another day

I've been wrong done by, great injustice I've observed, so undeserved
But I've done wrong myself, memories shrouded in shame, no one to blame

Sometimes it's hard to bear, sometimes it's hard to find a prayer
And not despair
The rain keeps coming down and the storms rage all around
But behind the clouds awaits the sun
To shine another day

Sometimes we need to cry and sometimes it's hard to rely
But I can't deny
A faith that can't be seen and the promise all will be serene
When the clouds break way for the Son
To shine another day
