Reflections of Yourself in me.

Ever since the early nineteen eighties, I have enjoyed the lyrics and songs of Gary Chapman who used to be married to Amy Grant, another great singer/songwriter. One of his songs that has stuck with me and been brought to the fore recently is his song "Finally".

It speaks of a dawning of the realisation that no matter what is happening in your day, God is always there for us, just a prayer or meditation away. There are moments in somedays that are particularly hard and if we let the circumstances get the better of us, they can really drag us down. But no matter what we are facing, God is there to guide us through it. He doesn't promise us "a bed of roses" and a life without troubles, but He does promise to be with us every step of the way guiding us and strengthening us to cope with whatever we have to face.

If you get the opportunity, listen to the song as the written lyrics below don't bring about the warmth and feeling that Gary does with his singing. I recommend his music to you.

I wish my mind wouldn't argue with my heart
It splits the day apart
Into time well spent and time just thrown away
I wish my heart would please make up my mind
I'm wasting so much time
Gotta catch a glimpse of how it's gonna be

CHORUS:
When finally
I look inside your eyes and see
Reflections of yourself in me
The way you always said it would be
When finally
I'm loving you like you love me
It happened oh so easily
I looked at you and it came to me
Finally

The day to day just keeps on spinning round
But this one thing I have found
I can close my eyes and be there in your arms
You take me to a place that's safe and warm
You're my harbor in the storm
Wanna lose myself in being there with you

(REPEAT CHORUS)

When finally
I look inside your eyes and see
Reflections of yourself in me
The way you always said it would be
When finally
I'm loving you like you love me
It happened oh so easily
I looked at you and the love in your heart
Cut right through to me
And my eyes can see
Finally
