I say ...

Glorify God
always
in all ways

I look for joy
I look for peace
I even look for love
All to be found
and is truly so
in God above
through My Lord
My Jesus

I say I'll follow
wherever He leads
but the road is rough
and I often stumble

I say whatever Your will
no matter the cost
but the pain and
suffering is often more
than I can bear

I say the darkness
cannot harm me
You are my refuge,
my help, my hope
but even in the light
I sometimes fail to
open my eyes
or my heart

I say I am Yours
I say I'll show Christ
in my every word
and action
but often my sayings
and doings
fall short

I say this, I say that
I pray Lord Jesus
It is true
It is wise
It is loving

Only You Lord
know me best.
