We think we are
We think we know
what is best
for us and for all
But you do know
You see all there is to see
and beyond,
within our hearts
to the very core
We know nothing
in comparison to You
who IS
Even those who believe
in You
falter
at the gate
We search
but our fear of the unknown
of what might happen
overwhelms us so
and we struggle
to remember Your promises
we struggle
to keep You at the center
of our being
We see the pain
given and received
We see others
being swallowed up
in misery
The tears come
only You may see them
Silent tears
flow
and our "little" world
collapses
Our hope is less
Our doubt is more
We cry out in despair
We don't like where we are
nor where another is
We want out
We want to be whole again
We want
What do you want Lord
What are your desires Lord
Have we sunken so low
that You do not care?
No!
You have always cared
You are the almighty
You are The One
whose love brought us to You.
Your son
My Lord
My Savior
Jesus Christ
He came to live among us
to teach us
to show us the way
to abide with Him
to bring us hope
to enable our faith and trust in Him
so we can withstand all that comes our way
to believe in His promises
to shower us with blessings
to remind us of His love
to renew us again and again
to love and be loved
to give and give again
to forgive
and yet again,
to stay rooted in Your word,
to study and meditate
and to pray.
