It occurs to me that I never let you know
That what you did for me I bet I didn’t show
My heart was down-trodden, beaten down from years of words
I couldn’t speak, I was way too afraid
but it’s true you saved my life
I bet you never heard.
~~~
Now you may think how can that be
You may wonder how in the world
but I assure you – your light was felt
coming and going – and I know somehow you were there for me.
~~~
The light you provided at just the right time
sometimes made me fearful
sometimes made me laugh
and sometimes your light directed me
back to the right path.
~~~
I bet you never knew that what you did really had an impact for good.
I bet you never had a clue
I bet you never knew that when my head was nearly under water
your hand pulled me up – it was you.
~~~
When the waves crashed
When the undertow threatened to drag me down
When the rip tide was pulling me far away
your hand was the hand I reached for without making a sound.
~~~
Oh here there were tears and lots of noise
All of the usual going through the motion
and none of the joy
~~~
You see without a word – your presence was known
I bet you didn’t know
I regret that I didn’t thank you
and that I didn’t show
~~~
Today the word hope is wrapped around my heart
Today gray is not grey as before
I bet you didn’t know that what may have been meant for bad
God used you to turn it all around to give me a new start
~~~
So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart
Your light flickering as it did gave me a reason
I know that people come in and out of our lives at just the right time
I know that sometimes they are only here for a season.
~~~
But thank you nonetheless
thank you from the bottom of my heart
I hope you can forgive me
You saved my life and I will never forget
I would have liked to have told you
that’s the only thing that I regret.
Sometimes we have no idea how we can impact someone’s life, or even a song on the radio can….did you know that God may have placed it and them there….right when we were willing to hear…Remember to share …your story…who knows – they could be the life you save…..
… …dedicated to: those lights that appear when we least expect them….
