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
