"Beautiful Ending"

I saw it still standing there,

Empty,

Half an hour or so after I finished using it.

I'd meant to put it back,

Then forgotten it,

So it was still standing there,

Empty.


It reminded me of all I've been thinking about the past few days,

The books, the videos that have reminded me of how important my music is to me,

How much I enjoy it,

How I can't stop.


It reminded me of the song I've had stuck in my head the past few days,

The one I've been humming and singing everywhere,

The one I'd placed on the music stand to learn how to play,

Because something in it speaks to where I am right now,

In this place of searching for answers,

Trying to figure out where I'm supposed to take this gift,

Though I know it could be years before I find the answers I'm looking for,

Trying to figure out how to still put Him first,

Remember that it's not about me,

Trying to go where He wants me to,

Not where I want to,

Because His plan is the beautiful one,

Mine's anything but.


I don't know where You want me to go, 

But I want to follow the path You've laid out for me.

I want to walk by Your side until I reach the end,

And when I do reach the end,

I want to be in Your arms.

I don't know the ending,

But I want it to be beautiful.


So tell me,What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful,
So beautiful?

Will my life
Find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful,
So beautiful.

At the end of it all,
I want to be in Your arms. 
At the end of it all,
I want to be in Your arms.
At the end of it all,
I want to be in Your arms.
At the end of it all,
I want to be in Your arms. 

So tell me,
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful,
So beautiful?

Will my life
Find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful,
So beautiful.
