my song

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.
