ON GODS TERMS

Sheryl Parker 1969 (Huntington, IN)



Miracles come to us in so many forms; the birth of a child or the eye of a storm What seems like disaster when it occurs; may be your miracle...on GODS terms Don't close your eyes or shut down your heart; don't be afraid to make a new start Take all those pieces and join them with love; be thankful for things GOD sends from above Open your heart and don't turn away; help the stranger you meet on the way So keep your faith, don't ever let it go GOD will show you which way to go Whatever happens, try to understand... Because miracles happen, with the help of GODS hands So what seems like disaster when it occurs; may be your miracle...on GODS terms
