Send Your Angels
I remember the day I cried out to you and said
I have done everything I know yet I'm still in dread
I don't know what to do or where to go.
With every step I take I mess it up so.
I've lost everything I've ever known as mine
I want to follow you I know you are the vine.
I opened up your word and this is what it said:
"When you are young you will dress yourself and where you want
but when you are old you will reach out your hand and someone else
will lead you where you don't want to go."
I knew what you were telling me, I shut my Bible tight
I argued with you for weeks, could this really be right?
You wanted me to go to the place I hated most,
So I took that leap of faith and established a new post.
The things I thought had changed were only for the show.
My faith says to stay, my flesh is ragging to go.
I will lean not to my own understanding and put my trust in you,
For I know, you are the only way I will ever make it through.
Is this the price I have to pay for the sin that I have done,
Or the devil trying to have his laughs and fun?
God I am begging, is this what you have in store
Or my wilderness mentality thinking I deserve no more?
If this is your will for me then let it be done,
I am asking for the strength you gave your only son.
Dear God if this is not where I am suppose to be,
I am begging you, please deliver me.
While I'm going through let me glorify your name,
That I might not go completely insane.
Dear God please just let me hear your voice.
Please give me the strength to make the right choice.
I trust you completely I know your in control,
Please send your Angels to minister to my soul.
