Yesterday

Living in a dream of yesterday;

You once were here, but didn't stay.

When I tried to hold on, you pushed me away;

My heart went, too, and now it must pay.

If you could return, you'd find me changed;

 the bridge is now burned and things aren't the same.

The darkness has faded, the sun has shone.

Today is here and I must move on.

The memories of yesterday will undoubtedly last;

but today has new hope that replaces my past.

Yesterday and today, like stranger have become;

What looked like a diamond, was only a stone.

This stepping stone leading closer to home;

Just a reminder, my journey's not done.

The real is the now, and the now is the real;

I will pray and with faith, I will trust in God's Will.

This chapter is closed, the last page has turned;

So much I have lived, so much I have learned.

Where are you familiar stranger?

I know you no more.
I opened my heart, but you closed your door.

 Tomorrow's already extending it's hand.

What seems a betrayal,

is God's faithful plan.

 You will hold me back if I don't let go.

God is ordering my steps, His purpose, my own.
