It won’t always be this way.

Where I wake up in a quiet household, grab my coffee and bible and sit in silence for the first hour of my day.

Where I can sit and pray about the day to come, awaiting in eager expectation for what God has in store for me.

Where I clearly see the path in front of me, and faithfully go forward in confidence.

It won’t always be this way.

It won’t always be this way.

Where my dad takes me to softball practice and sits along the fence line, analyzing my progress towards success.

Where he takes me to the job site to help him, only to assign me to the tedious shop-vac job of the townhomes.

Where he walks in the door after work saying “Honey, I’m home” and peace transcends the household one again.

No, it won’t always be this way.

It won’t always be this way.

Of war and violence, chaos and decay.

Where people say “I want to be this way”, leaving Him in complete dismay.

It won’t always be this way.

It won’t always be this way.

And some may say there’s no way.

But according to the Way, these times will not stay.

It won’t always be this way.
