Signal Lost

Signal Lost

Don’t know how I got here it’s like I’ve been sleepwalking
One minute I’m praising God next thing you know I’m cursing
It’s like my brain’s gone dead, I’m alive yet I’m dead

Signal maybe lost but the tracking Beacon is strong
May have lost my way but the Lord has found me
The Jesus is strong and is leading me back home

The hurt was so bad started running until could run no more
But now I am lost don’t know how to get back as if brain is dead
My heart lost all signal to reality now stuck in a swamp of doubt

Signal may be lost, but the tracking Beacon is strong in me
May have lost my strength, but the Lord never gave up on me
The Jesus is strong and is leading me back home

Don’t know what I am doing, was told something, but just forgot again
I see face’s I use to recognize but now are strangers like my brain is dead
Alzheimers is a cruel disease but I know the Lord will take care of me

Signal lost but the Jesus inside of us is the Beacon that won’t ever go out
The Lord will guide us back home, will never leave us or forsake us even if
We no longer know where we are, or who we are, Jesus holds us in His Arms

Poem is dedicated to my friend Bob and others who live with this disease
