Lord, i come to You today
expecting nothing less
than to sit right here with You
and watch You sweep away this mess
i need You here this morning
as i need You each new day
to show me where the truth is found
and light me on my way
for there is fog and dark and night
surrounding me right now
i know not where to find the path
i only know You’re how
would You make something new in me
something i’ve never seen
would You make something new in we
who look to You for everything
we need You, Lord, now more and more
we need Your grace and power
to fuel us up and make us whole
to guide us this dark hour
Lord, i am not as i should be
for years You’ve held my hand
thank God it does not count on me
it’s You who make me stand
for falling on my face is what
my nature leads me to
and tripping on my idols
how i cling to old and new
oh Lord, please rip them from my hands
please burn them from my heart
i want just You and only You
give me a brand new start
these idols can’t compare
nor come up close to Your good self
i want them pulverized and gone
not sitting on some shelf
for nothing, no one i have seen
can stand up to Your beauty
but every night it slips my mind
the truth slides right on through me
dear Lord, help me remember truth
help me, today, to stand
deny myself and follow You
hold tight to Your right hand
for Father, Son and Holy Ghost
enigma, one and three
each way You interact with us
breaks us, each new day free
i bow here and i wait for You
wait for Your hand of mercy
wait for Living Water
oh my Lord, my soul is thirsty
Thank you! This so fits where I am today. :-)
