It all seems for naught
When it keeps raining. I focus on a speck, But You keep on painting. You know all the colors That have to be mixed. It’s a slow process, Yet we want it all fixed. You whisper, “Just wait,” But our vision is small. Shift our focus to You, Who knows and sees all. When I don’t understand, Help me to see, Or to stand still And let it be. All is truly Yours, So do You truly take? Thank You for all You give And continue to make. When I ask why, I will still trust. It may hurt, But do as You must. How many mistakes
Are we allowed? I’ve made so many Of which I’m not proud. You don’t count them When we repent, Humble ourselves, And finally relent. You give us understanding To know what is wrong. We may make excuses, But to You we belong. I am sorry, Yet again. Forgive me, Now and then. You transform souls, God of the unexpected; Lead the imperfect, As children corrected. Help us do right And follow You. Give us the chance To become new. Lord, grant us patience
To let Your hand work. You know Your plan And lay the groundwork. Not our way but Yours, Let it be done. Expand our tunnel vision To Your better one. We cannot see ahead And often lose sight Of what is important And of what’s right. Help us consider More pressing needs In Your kingdom Of growing seeds. We only know about What we can see, But You work all things For the good of each tree. We are but a leaf That alone will fall, But together we stand In Christ our all. |
