I Sat And Thought Last Night…I sat and thought last night… About what's happened in the past! And I asked God to help me out, And rid this hatred at last! I told him of my depth of hate, And yes, He knows it's true… So He whispered; ‘Catherine, take my strength,' ‘And always hold it close to you!' I asked my God why it happens… All the pain, anger hate and strife… And why the turmoil we go through, As we tarry through our life. He said; ‘Catherine, it's not by My will,' ‘But the evil we all bear,' ‘And the temptation by the devil,' ‘For beware he is always there!' ‘He's ready to tempt you all the time,' My God said to me... ‘But the choice is everyone's to make,' ‘And not the choice of Me!' So I said to God last night, ‘Please give me the strength to cope?' ‘And help me throw off this hatred I hold,' ‘But more - to help me deal with it and cope! ‘Of course I will.' My God told me, ‘For always, always know,' ‘I truly am at your side,' ‘As through life you go!' So I settled down to sleep last night, With my God on my mind... And when I awoke this Christmas day, Insight is what I find. He's right in all He says to me, This I know is true, But He also knows the reason why… My hatred was coming through. He told me that He would help me, And unburden me for a while, As long as I promise to stay focused, And turn this hatred into a smile. ‘I'll do my best!' I told Him, ‘And try and persevere…' ‘You do that,' He told me, ‘And remember, I am always near!' So we came to an understanding, Me and my God this Christmas day, And every time I feel anger… He will call to me and say… ‘Catherine, remember my vow to you,' ‘I will always help you through!' ‘I will give you the strength you need for this,' ‘And I promise you - we'll see it through!' He agreed it wont just happen… Just like that – over and done, But that of course it will take time, And one day my hatred will be gone! But will it be gone? I don't know, What if I can't let it go? For it's very hard to release it… As my God will surely know! But He told me to have faith in Him, Which, of course I do… So I told him, ‘God, I'm thankful…' ‘And certain I will pull through!' ‘Of course you will, of course!' He said. ‘Because that's my job you see!' ‘To carry you when it's needed,' ‘So at your side I will always be!' He told me He would help me, And ease this poor, sore heart, Then I can let it go, and eke it out, And finally make a new start So this morning when I awoke, I smiled a little smile… And thanked my God once again, For helping me walk that one last mile!
