I’ve learned, over time
That I’m weak
My strength, I’ve found
Comes from the God
Who kindles flames of hope,
Faith and love inside me
I’ve hurt, sometimes
More than I care to admit
With pain so dark
It colors my dreams
In a dreary black
I’ve struggled, many times
With doubt, fear and disillusionment
Dread that shadows my heart
With feelings of quiet confusion
I’ve heard, from scriptures
That this is the time to listen
Whispering a prayer to Him
Who silences all the worst angst
And gentles the way toward
Joy that shines its light into
The path of those who know
God is alive – stirring on the inside
All the love that a heart can hold
I’ve yearned for a second chance
When I couldn’t find my way
And I’ve sought a brighter day
When rain kept pouring down
I’ve thought I’d lost everything
When, in truth, He was always there
Only a promise away, waiting
For the words I would say
When I bent my knee to pray
I’ve learned, through trial and error
That when I seek Him with my whole heart
He comes alive like the sincerest hope
Gives me grace to awaken my soul
To the breath of eternal glory, praise
That brings life to the heart of the child
Who knows they are God breathed
Heaven sent – Jesus’ gift to His Father
Who gave Him the power to save
Today, forever and always – eternally!
