The Birthplace
By Renae Forbes

Transition is eminent
The pushing ready to start
Birthing forth the promise
That has been held in our heart. 

The way is narrow
And the squeezing is so tight
Seems like the journey is never ending
Where is the light? 

Push and breathe, come on count to ten
More progress is needed - do it again.
Prayer and dedication to give birth
The promise that is within us of great worth. 

The plan of God is waiting
Our destiny lies before us
But delivery isn’t easy
The enemy wants to thwart us. 

But keep pushing and praying
Refused to be blinded –
For weeping endures for a moment
Let us be reminded. 

When the cries of the promise
Soon reach our ear
We know the Father will protect us
And keep us from fear. 

So don’t give up on the promise –
Transition will not last
The birthing of the dream He’s given
Will soon come to pass.
