Words and Music by Ted Kirkpatrick    Vision from the past  As you see yourself floating to shore  Tragedy that the water depth wasn't  Three feet more  Diving from the cliff  Never thought it would come to this  Incoherent utterance  "Don't move the body like this"    Years later in the metal chair  Passing day after day  Bitterness permeates everything I do and say  What kind of God would do a thing like this?  Ruin my life  God's got a funny sense of humor  When it comes to strife  The ways, mind and heart of God  Are certainly mysterious  "My plans are not your plans"  But remember this  That everything I do I do in love  To bring you closer to me  No matter what your problems or  Circumstances happen to be    When you put away bitterness  You will see what you have missed
