All in One Day

All in one day, my whole life was changed;

I couldn’t believe it was true.

No warning, no sign, no reason to think

that my heart would be broken in two.

As all of the shock slowly turned into pain,

I finally gave in to the tears.

I remembered my faith and I wanted to pray,

but God did not feel very near.

I fell on my knees and cried out for help,

I prayed “God, can You not see?

You’ve always been good, and I’ve always believed,

So, Father, how can this be?

Did You close Your eyes and lose all control

while my heart broke all in one day?

I still have no answer, I still feel alone,

I don’t know what else I can say.”

Then softly and tenderly, Jesus came down

and held out His merciful hand.

He picked me right up, He held me awhile,

and then, in a soft voice, He said,

“My child, I know that you can’t understand

all of my heavenly ways.

I know you can’t see how this sorrow you have

could come about all in one day.

But I’m here to assure you that you’re not alone,

I’ll carry you through all your sorrow.

I’ll be by your side, and don’t be afraid,

for I’m already in your tomorrows.

And all in one day, I’ll come back again, 

I’ll wipe away all of your tears.

I’ll carry you home to a place where you won’t

remember the pain of your years.

Until that day comes, you must walk by faith;

I’ll guide you when you cannot see.

All in one day, all will be made right.

My child, until then, just believe.”
