SEEING THE LIGHT 10 YEARS ON

All those days watching from the windows

All those years outside looking in

All that time never even knowing

Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here blinking in the starlight

Now I'm here suddenly I see

Standing here it's all so clear

I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything looks different

Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream

All those years living in a blur

All that time never truly seeing

Things, the way they were

Now she's here shining in the starlight

Now she's here suddenly I know

If she's here it's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything is different

Now that I see you

Who would have imagined that I would be where I am today 10 years back?

A friend once told me out of everyone she was trying to outreach, I was the hardest because it didn't seem like I needed God. I led a good and sheltered life.

But if anything, the past 10 years has taught me that sometimes you don't need to have a need before being able to see God. Sometimes, you need to see Him before realising you have a need.
