So much of life
I want to own it all;
all the fullness, all the grace;
all the trials, all the changes,
the every-day.
I want to break free
of misconceptions, of lies that are strangling me
Help me own this now—
the here and now.
Help me face the doubts,
find You deeper there.
Stretch wide my heart
and the fences of my mind.
Preach over me
that you leave none behind.
Show me Your way of kindness
of strength
of love that doesn't break
and a home that is steady when I quake.
Let these scattered fragments of my days
come together
as a vessel to be filled.
Help me own this now—
the here and now.
Help me face the doubts,
find You deeper there.
Stretch wide my heart
and the fences of my mind.
Preach over me
that you leave none behind.
