Beyond the smile… …everything happens for a reason!

Have you seen a face that is always smiling?
Brings joy to the one beholding
It’s contagious, there’s a smile on your face
Something you haven’t found in so many days
But look beyond and you will find
A hurt lying beneath the smile line
Tears covered in selfless melody
Every line blended in perfect harmony
It’s just a cover for some respite
Look beyond the smile and you’ll see it right.

Everything happens for a reason
In the Holy Book it is clearly written
And I tell myself it’s gonna be alright
Even when I don’t know how that’s gonna be right
It’s hard to connect the heart with the mind
I guess it will only happen with experience and in time
The hurt is real, and so is the pain
But it’s no time to play the blame game
Only fall in the arms of the loving father
He alone has the right fix when we falter

“You gotta face the clouds to find the silver lining”
So I’ve sung to the tune of Kutless
It’s real and happening and I have felt helpless
But the strength is rising, and it’s amazing
Like on supernatural wings of strength I am soaring
This is surely not from me that I know
It all began when I learnt to let go
The moment I said “Lord I’m sorry”
My weakness and failure became history
A fresh new road I see
To tread on it and be all I can be

Only You can see beyond my smile
And give me hope and strength for a new start
You draw me unto yourself and prepare me
For a higher task what my eyes cannot see
 “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path”
As I walk through this valley low,
I know with you there is joy as you show
Everything happens for a reason
And you are in control,
You're always the master of the show!
