For Yesterday

For yesterday, I thank You Lord.

There were years that seemed

just like a dream.

There were life-changing scenes.

But I've come to know

that You allowed me to go

through that maze,

those difficult days

(and You were there always)

so I would grow.

You kept me strong,

like a tree amidst the storms.

You had hopes for me

when the future I couldn't see.

When I despaired,

so misty was the view -

until I saw You,

looking down from heaven,

showing You care.

Nothing compares

with Your love.

You saw my heart

and picked me up.

I owe everything to You.

For all You've done for me.

for all my yesterdays,

I'm grateful.

Thank You, Lord.
