Greatfullness

Full of great is God's power and full of nothing is my power...I seem to cower away from the light
Empower me...for I'm nervous to step forward and stand up for what is right 
I'm not trying to be rude; Lord, give me a big heart of hopeful desire 
I'm attempting to be selfless...but I'm such a filthy mess of distress 
Why am I regretting this loss of connection of hope? 
Why do I sit here without friends and mope? 
Losing things and losing my mind 
I don't know me sometimes, I hope you don't mind - let me unwind, for I'm blind and falling behind 
Mighty love from up above
Drench me, soak me...now, I'm a silky white dove
My saving power, my Rock, where art thou?
My helping hand only burned your wounds further - ow! 
Now, my long lost soul takes a bow
Takes a bow to God's Holy Spirit 
Shower me with every cure-like character that's good and legit 
I owe my praise to You alone 
I need You to be my backbone...at least I'm not on my own
Your watchful care puts me in awe 
I smile away the gray of today and I helplessly gnaw 
On what pulls me down...
Wandering all around town 
I can't let go of things I hold on to...so hopelessly, 
So worthless as can be 
You were that someone I relied on...now, it's God and His sunny son
Here comes a frown and heartless comments shoot me like a gun
Foes of mine are way too many to count on my toes 
Feeling like an infant in an adult's body - facing those bittersweet highs and lows 
Full of great is God's Word and full of foolishness is my weaknesses and strengths...I run away from Satan's sly nature
I'm insecure, trying and trying to find a cure, sweating it time and time again - I'll refrain from driving everyone insane and abide by Your side
