Thoughts...in the key of me.

I was doing some organizing today and ran across this CD…. All Right Here by Sara Groves. She is one of my favorite singer/songwriters because her lyrics are truly poetic and describe things like no other artist I’ve found. I popped it in to give it a listen, and I fell in love with it all over again (I LOVE it when that happens). One particular song has always spoken to me. I’m a thinker and a questioner, and the lyrics of this song give me great comfort. I’d like to share them with you.

“Maybe There’s a Loving God”

I’m trying to work things out
I’m trying to comprehend
Am I the chance result of some great accident
I hear a rhythm call me
The echo of a grand design
I spend each night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars in the sky

I have another meeting today
With my new counselor
My mom will cry and say,
“I don’t know what to do with her
She’s so unresponsive
I just cannot break though
She spends all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon”

They have a chart and graph
Of my despondency
They want to chart a path
For self-recovery
And want to know what I’m thinking
What motivates my mood
To spend all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon

Maybe this was made for me
For lying on my back in the middle of a field
Maybe that’s a selfish thought
Or maybe there’s a loving God
Maybe I was made this way
To think and to reason and to question and to pray
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there’s a loving God
