I Can Make It
by SELASIE BULMUO
I see a winding river
It’s streams not still at all
I stand and look awhile
Wishing it didn’t exist
Longing for still waters
Still waters run deep
I guess that’s a worry
But I’d rather cross still waters
Than brave this harsh flow I see
I know I must make it
I have come this far already
Lugging my luggage with me
Through wilderness and caves
To turn around and quit
I just cannot envisage
I close my eyes and dream
Dream all my troubles away
But when my iris catches the light
Through its peeping hole
There it was before me
Unyielding, this river I see
A song plays in mind
‘Wade in the water, brother’
But these waters are way too troubled.
I know I cannot swim
I never learnt the skill
Somehow I must get over
Over to the other side
It must be a peaceful shore for sure
I certainly must make it there
‘No going back now, you hear’
I remind my thumping heart
No matter what dreads I face
There must be a way to go
No going back now, not now.
Even if no peaceful shores awaits
Even if many more rivers we must cross
Beat steady, my thumping heart
There is a promise on the other side
I know I can make it there
And while I must wait awhile
Till wisdom shows me a way
I’ll wait in readiness of mind
Not retreating, forward only
Over this Jordan that I see
My journey I will surely complete
I know I can make it through.
Praise God! The storms of life do get rough,and at times it seems more than we can bear.But thank God for His Holy Word that gives us peace,joy and understanding. Just knowing that with Jesus we we make it safely to the other side Amen.
and thanks for your visit 
Love you
Hello Pat,
Almost missed this comment. Yes with Jesus we certainly can make it through. Here is always a way even when there seems to be none. Love you too and thanks for the lovely comment and visit. Come again soon.
