Love Letters to God

The Memory of God

The Memory of God

Is it the living breathing now

Or a memory of God

that drives me on

I remember this love,

I remember this promise

I remember this forgiveness

I tasted such exquisite bliss

Is it all here now

Or has it faded softly

Into the sunset of the gentle days end

Once the chances called so boldly

To me when I was young

I’d do anything, try anything, give anything

Just to prove what I did know

But I think you’re waiting for me

I think that you are there

Across the limits of a lifetime

That was a chance to get it all done here

Everything I know says you are here somewhere

Buried underneath the breath of distractions and pain

in the climax at the end of lifetime

when the screen credits are all that remain

DId I ever think to save a little

 for the final end game

Or did I throw it all away

As I tried my best to live out this life you gave.

Is it a living memory that brings me back to you                                       

To hope and pray to pay my dues

And now I’m getting old

And I only have a few good years left

To complete my purpose that I came to do

So set me straight God

And let me get it out

So I can say I did all I could do

So I can be ready to return to you.
