for one brief moment

for one brief moment
i thought i heard
the whisper of a little bird
spread out your wings
be unafraid
and then the sparrow flew away


for one brief moment
i thought i saw
a four-leafed clover at my floor
and the quiet hope of somthing more
and then i turned and went indoors



for one brief moment
i thought i knew
what caused the sky to be so blue
that sunny days were here to stay
but then my moment turned to gray



for one brief moment
i thought of love

and kisses pouring from above
but silence drove me to despair
that love is often not found here



for one brief moment
i thought i cried
tears spilt along the travelled miles
upon of which i strode alone
onwards to the fathers throne



for one brief moment
i thought all was lost
and i pondered over the heavy cost
for the things i thought i loved the most
in which i favoured much to boast



for one brief moment
i thought i felt
the winters of my heartbreak melt
and a light of hope begin to spark
and lead me from eternal dark



for one brief moment
i dreamt of glory
for pretty words within a story
for accolades i might have won
for my fifteen minutes in the sun



for one brief moment
i saw the Lord
upon the cross to save us all
the father, son, the holy ghost
he died for such as me, the most


for one brief moment
i knew that i had seen
the reason for my suffering
that somehow in my woeful story
Jesus Christ will get the glory
