Fully aglow, even though

Thanksgiving comes and goes on a waning half moon

it is mixed with joy for the kids and the pain of brokenness

the waning moon has yet to reveal another month of gloom

do i set my face as flint and get through a sorrowful Christmas?

Sorrow in one way, a family broken down by pride

Joy in another because of God's perfect love, even though

He continues to work to show to reveal if I will abide

His love beckons me to trust and give my all tho I feel so low

I am very thankful for the family and friends I know

for all the blessings He has bestowed on me

I know that the sorrow will become joy fully aglow

My part is to let Him have his way, to trust and see

Deep in my heart is a romance fully alive

Life it brings with a wind so strong

I want to be released so it will thrive

to be where I always belonged

A mystery God weaves through our lives

He has a plan of beauty even though I see chaos

I can choose to be patient and be revived

or to hold on to the frayed ends that end in loss

I will persevere on to see what the Christmas moon has in store

as I watch it wax on, full of God's plan for man it will shine

I have a love so strong that will last forever more
Draw up courage princess warrior, all in good time
