Suddenly
By Susan Vaughan Shumake
*****
Lord,
I need You now
Everything is changing and I’m lost somehow
Everything I trusted in is failing me
Suddenly, I’ve lost all my security
Lord,
I need You more
More than I ever realized before
Everything about my future changed today
Suddenly my dreams seem oh, so far away
Suddenly
You have brought me to this place where it’s just You and me
Unimportant things, I simply cannot see
Life, and all its’ blessings are what’s dear to me
Tragedy
Makes this life of mine seem suddenly so precious Lord
Another wasted minute I cannot afford
For all that You have given me is suddenly
Enough for me
Lord,
How can it be?
This thing that You’ve allowed has really shaken me.
All my hopes and dreams have slipped right through my hands
Suddenly I can’t rely on my own plans
Lord,
What’s all this for?
I have never felt this insecurity before
Now, I’m only wanting what you want for me
Because suddenly,
I see eternity
