.lost.

I know sad, lonely, discouraged and tired
I understand broken hearts, empty wallets and silent phones when you wish they were ringing
I've seen days with more questions than answers, more fears than comfort and more fuel than flame

But I'm not lost.

I know ashamed, disappointed and embarrassed
I understand dismissal, false hope and failed dreams that steal the breath from your lungs
I've seen days with fights instead of celebration, closed doors instead of welcome and days with more "I'm done here" than "we can do this"

But I'm not lost.

Don't ask to see my compass or  my map
I have no use for either, they can't help me here
What I need is to simply breath easy
To laugh a moment and feel the tension leave my face
To unclench my fists; to remember...

I have only a guess where I am right now
And where I'm going is a mystery as well
But I know I'm not lost as I wander

All the colors of my thoughts and emotions
Have not always painted me bright
but I know I'm not lost as I wander

Grace has given me something to hold onto
I found home, in my heart, wait you'll see

Burn the map, hide the keys, call me crazy
I'll have Jesus, my home, my peace
