Trust 

Fearful, wondering, what if's
Worry and rash actions
Too many relationship rifts
Why am I so anxious?

Cried out in despair
Why is my life a mess?
Holy Spirit answered with care
Your focus is not blessed

Look up! Take My hand
Walk humbly with Me
You've decided to be in command
But you're blind, unable to see

Never letting go
Fighting every change
Worn to the bone
Heart filled with rage

Yes, I'm relying too much on myself
Expecting others to rescue me
When only God Himself
Can truly make me happy

Trust! That's the word to embrace
Can't make it on my own
Must lean fully on God's Grace
And trust in Him alone

Heart’s Cry

kneeling_in_prayer

My heart’s cry…

Am I bringing You glory;
What kind of ambassador am I?
Am I telling Your story,
Or, lifting myself up high?

Because I’m filled with Your Spirit
We are united; we’re One.
How can flesh merit
Such favor, grace and love?

How I long to be a sanctuary
That fully reflects You!
Your temple filled with glory;
None of me; all of You.

My soul bought with a price –
Really, I’m that valuable?
For me You gave Your life;
You saw something salvageable.

Oh, the honor to give You honor!
Help me be free of futility –
Walking daily as your daughter,
Always with humility.
