Freedom In Christ

with eyes that look beyond circumstance, beyond all feelings of pain,
our father who sees our deepened hearts, his feelings of love stay the same,
off balance at times while we've searched for truth, not knowing what to expect or 
believe,
we've wracked our brains to make sense of our issues, and even then we don't 
suceed,
you would think that after the first try, we would back down to let god establish our 
lives,
while we're so busy trying to figure out our problems, he already knew 
beforehand all the tears we would cry,
our trust is so important to him, when i rest my thoughts, he speaks to me,
a clear and visual understanding that my eyes never noticed to see,
in my panic and fustration, when worries begin to overflow,
while fear tries to trap me, he whispers "my daughter, let go."
it seems so easy to say these words, but much harder to put them to practice,
our human nature still wants us to work through it ourselves, while god wants us 
to give him full access.
