Psalm 6-1-09
Oh Lord God
Who pours out power and love on His people
Please lavish upon me Your Grace and mercy
For I am Your child, found to be in need
I surrender my will
Help me accept Yours
I've tried
All my plans are as dust
I humbly accept who You say I am
Though I stumble, fall, and fail You
You will make a path that leads back
You fit every puzzle piece of my life into place
You see the whole chessboard
Even when I see no way through
You've mapped out a plan
On You I will stand
For my flesh mires in shifting sand
I will take hold of You
Let go of all this mess I've made of me
To focus on You
Take my eyes off the storm of circumstance
Reveal Your hidden heart to me
As I search step by step
So low and empty
My friends are turned against me
I seem to repel anything good
And find I disgust myself
I have limited You
Drawn the line in the sand
Erected great barricades
Blind to any victory
I've dammed the flow of blessings
Slim chance to overcome
For encouragement and hope I will wait
And come before You expecting
Please see me through this
As I find purpose and promise
I've searched for my value in man
But found only need
I've given myself away
Sold myself short
You've never left
Though I try to run away
Your faithfulness is astonishing
Awesome is Your eternal trustworthiness
You comfort me
When I wail in rage
You quiet my spirit
Wash me in peace I can't explain
You calm my silent screaming
Wipe away my tears
Those fears You drive away
You said I don't have to compromise anymore
You've cleansed me, washed me, put a new Spirit in me
You changed my mind
And softened my stoney heart
You called my dry bones from the grave
And brought back hope where there was despair
You reward my obedience and repentance
With wisdom and intimacy in You
So for You Lord I will chase with abandon
I will be satisfied for You are my enough
Please take from my heart
The sharp sting of this stabbing pain
But don't let me forget
So I won't go back
Because it waits for me again
If I take the wrong path
Remove those things
That lead me astray
And bring Your life more abundantly
I loosen my grip
Help me to let go
Plant Your fruit in my heart
And help it to grow
