These Feelings

These Feelings

If it feels like forever since you took a breath,

If life is an ocean you’re caught up in,

If it feels like the good days have come and gone again,

I hope you’ll find comfort in knowing that

Feelings don’t last forever, my friend.

If suddenly you’re weakening after staying strong so long,

If love has become an illusion, does anyone really care at all?

If it feels like your good intentions have fallen short again,

My friend, these feelings won’t last forever.

In the end, when you are on a higher road

Looking back you will know

Your feelings didn’t last forever.

The blessings of God will be poured out on you.

Just look around at the crowd cheering for you.

You’re going to make it.

My friend,

It all will come and go.

Live in hope because these moments won’t last forever.

God knows you’re a human in need of His love.

So,

Cry if you need to.

Remember all you want,

And forget what you don’t.

Call on His name,

Fall to your knees and pray,

And let it go.

Hold onto the hands stretched out.

Lean on those who care and want to help you now.

Let your soul be drowned in love;

Just take one step

Then another towards the light,

And just remember

These feelings won’t last forever.

Just around the next bend your deepest pain will be replaced with joy.

Though the days feel long,

This is just a blink of time in your story.

My friend, feel it all,

Then believe God has been holding you all along.

These feelings won’t last forever.
