About Face 

Why did this happen?
I don’t understand.
I was headed the direction
I thought You had planned!

Now suddenly here
I must turn “about face”—
Leave my heart behind
While continuing the race. 

I have “lost my life”
For your sake, I know. ¹
Take me to the place
Where Your life in me shows. 

Though Your will seems hard—
Though “sight” cannot see—
“Faith” trusts the One ²
Who loves and died for me. ³
