Fear

I am so afraid of nothing
insecure about who I am
The slightest change in plans
sends my gut into knots
My heart aches as I try
to keep all the world together
in my little glass globe
Where can I find rest?
Whom can I trust?
If the only father I knew
fell and loved himself more than I
How can I again trust my Father?
I want to let go, and in my mind
I know "He careth for me", yet
reconciling my heart and mind
is not within my grasp.
Though I yearn, I once again
have not the power within me
to do that which I wish most to do.
It is Your world Father, Your time,
Your land, Your provision, Your
heart, Your servant, make me into
that which you wish me to be.
Let Your name be glorified amoung
the people, let Your good works be
praised. Make me a vessel.
Remind me that You have
carefully created me as just that
let me remain only a vessel.
Standing still
in the place it was given
waiting to be used at the
the bidding of it's Master.

Mercy

Oh God, you are so good to me
Every day, I breathe another breath of your mercy.
Your kindness toward me is immeasurable
Your grace overtakes my sin
In you I am alive and complete.
Your grace abounds to me.
