I am but an Ordinary Man I hardly slept last nite my mind was filled with joy, I heard a song that told of Mary's Fear and Joseph's Doubts and You were asked "How can I hold Him Father unless You are holding me?". I am but an ordinary man and I have had no Angel appear to me, I'm filled with the same doubts and fears and I have a child who relies on me for protection and peace. How can I protect this child of mine unless you protect and show me your Truth and Your Light? This child of mine is growing up and asking so many questions and expecting me to show her the right path. How can I show her and tell her the truth unless You continue to teach me and guide me down this path of life and watch over the two of us with your grace and love from above? This child of mine is now a women and she asks me to tell her about love and right and wrong. She asks what is important in life as we travel together? I am but an ordinary man and wonder about those things myself. How can I tell her about love and life unless you open my eyes and heart to the joys and wonders of Your Sacrifice and Love? This woman of Ours had a baby today and looked at me for comfort with the same fear I had in my eyes so many years ago. I told her I am but an ordinary man and the answers are not in me but in the faith and love we had in You, all those days and years. That you will show her the answers as she grows in Your love because You helped me and You will certainly show Her, a child Blessed by the Love of God and the Love of an ordinary Man... |
