231223: My Half

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

I need to take a piece of paper
I need to fold it in two halves
Write what I know on the front page
And what God knows on the back

The front is where I’ll keep a record
Of my responsibilities
And the back is anything the many things
My creator does for me

There are days I do what I’m supposed to
I let God do what he does
But there are others I’m running kinda’ low
On patience peace and trust

When I really turn it over
My troubles never last
I just need to keep my focus
To what’s written on my half

One day I woke up in this body
In this earthly atmosphere
Never got an invitation
To any other place than here

Well I have my limitations
I’m only human that’s the truth
But God won’t just do everything
Some things only I can do
