Sometimes

Sometimes the road's rough and it isn't getting smoother
Sometimes winter drags on into spring
Sometimes though we plead and cry the tide remains the same
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes hope we cling to seems itself to be unraveling
Sometimes it is more than we can bear
Sometimes we are wounded and the future's truly daunting
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes we are blessed, yet there's something more we long for
Sometimes words of comfort aren't enough
Sometimes we're misjudged for an ache we can't curtail
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes dreams are given that take years to be fulfilled
Sarah, David, Joseph would concur
Sometimes we look foolish and we question what we've heard
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes there are thorns before a rose begins to bloom
Sometimes there's a rainbow through the clouds
Sometimes when the storm won't lift, we learn to dance in rain
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

In a world of sometimes where there's joy and there is pain
Heart attacks may never seem to end
Jesus, Great Physician, hold me--help me carry on
Remind me that You're coming back again!
