Could You part the waters just once more
To help me get past ocean’s floor?

And could You wipe away my tears
To help me get past all my fears.

I’ve reached, and seeked, and fallen down;
I found your name upon the ground.

I stood back up and saw the view,
Lord, all creation honors You.

And when I’ve tripped You helped me up.
You’ve fixed my dripping, broken cup.

A plea, I know it may sound strange,
I’ll try to hope as an exchange.

But now I ask you, King of Kings
Part this water, or give me wings.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

Alyssa,

I absolutely love the last two lines.
Clever, you are.  Enjoyed much.

Thank you, ecrivan, for reading and replying!
Maybe I should be praying for patience then, eh?
"Lord give me patience and give it NOW!"  

Always, Alyssa

Thank you Pat,
not sure if clever or desperate would be the words
But, I'm sure this'll pass soon, and I can get onto the valley instead..!
Hugs
Always, Alyssa
