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
