Close To The Edge


It’s cold and wet outside and I cannot see it all
Should be thankful I’m alive, but it’s pride before the fall
The journey begins; I want what I don’t have
The grass is always green on the other side of the path


Not waiting or anticipating what lies up ahead


I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms
I’m close to the edge but fine
So easy to think that it’s too hard
When life wants to send us close to the edge sometimes

The clouds of doubt set in darkening my trail
The shadows overcome; I wonder if I’ll fail
A street lamp flickers dim while I carry on way
It’s hard to see the light when all’s to see is gray 

Not waiting or anticipating what I’m gonna see      
     
I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms
I’m close to the edge but fine
So easy to think that it’s too hard
When life wants to send us close to the edge sometimes

No warning, no sign, the appointment’s come at last
Two stubborn wills collide but the worst hasn’t passed
The pain sets in and the tests begin to see if I’ll survive
Finished, done, has death won the claim to another life?

He who speaks and it is knows what’s mine and what’s His
He wins battles and finishes wars
When life is at stake all we can do is wait
For this too shall pass

I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms
I’m close to the edge but fine
So easy to think that it’s too hard
When life wants to send us so close to the edge but I’m safe in His arms
So close to the edge but I’m fine
When He’s all that I have it isn’t too hard
For life to send us close to the edge sometimes
