In The Evening

In the evening when I am tired

And reflect back upon the day

On all I've done and haven't

I wonder have I lost my way

What was the goal when

I abandoned my life's road

Stood at the crossing and made

The best decision I could?

Shedding so many tears

Weeping at night alone

Lived the life I had chosen

Reaping the seeds I'd sewn

I made a break. . .

If I have no expectations

Then I won't be disappointed

Feeling my path is one

That God tenderly anointed

Ease my heart dear Lord

For tonight I am feeling weak

Purpose eludes me now

Your answers I do seek

In the evening when I am tired

And the morning light so far

I wonder how long the dark

Will be until it is tomorrow.
