In spite of my fear
Allow me to hear – Your gentling,
Your light, Your inspirations so bright
In spite of my darkness
Allow me to grow – through Your kindness
Your grace, the glory that is fully Yours
In spite of my wrath
Allow me to know – Your calm,
Your serenity, the peace of Your comforting
In spite of my ugly
Allow me to feel – Your kind of beauty,
The wonder that only You alone can give
In spite of my sorrows
Allow me to see – the shadows of faith,
The answers that cause me to lift my hands in praise
In spite of my troubles
Allow me to touch – the flow of harmony,
The whisper of a hymn, a psalm, a silent prayer
In spite of my vileness
Allow me to distinguish – the goodness, the joy
That comes to life inside because I am Your child
In spite of my tears
Allow me to grasp the laughter, the wonderful
The miracle of a blessing that only You can bring to me
In spite of my flaws
Allow me to understand the strength You create
The power so dazzling that it glistens through every hesitation
In spite of my catastrophes
Allow me to keep in mind the exaltation, the dream
That reassures, uplifts, cheers the heart so it is relieved
In spite of my weariness
Allow me to appreciate the vitality of Your gifts
The talents and skills, the abilities You inspire within
In spite of my transgressions
Allow me to discern what it means to be forgiven
The incredulity of a Savior’s love, His awesome sacrifice
In spite of my worldliness
Allow me to experience the sacredness of His presence
The perfect peace, the treasure of a relationship with Jesus
In spite of me, dear Lord
Allow me to rise above the wickedness, the crimes
That remind me I was once so wrong, so vulgar, so very lost!
In spite of me, dear LORD….
Allow me to remember the hope that comes from knowing
I am Yours and You are mine… together, we will always abide
