Lord, I am nothing
But your humble servant. Someone’s stumbling, I can’t seem to reach them. I can pray, But open their heart. Only then, Can healing start. If it’s not through me, Then some other way. May they seek and find You another day. Don’t be like the Pharisees
And make pretense of religion. They seek to gain the world And just want recognition. What you give, Let the other hand not see. Do you have time? Give it for free. When you pray, Do it in secret. Then you may say You know the Way. Too good to be true?
Tell me, why would I lie? I don’t want fame or fortune, Hate attention, kinda shy. I’m rather private, Sharing only with few. What would I gain? I do this for you. Salvation is serious, Too many in the pit. I see people run there, I just want to stop it. That some don’t know Him Or reject Him is sad. Don’t you know He loves you? Is that really that bad? We follow the rules That our parents set. God’s a just Father, Have you met yet? Cautious, waiting,
Hoping, praying. Thankful for the moment And how much it meant. Shaped by my past, I didn’t know then what I do now. Wondering if it would last, A day? A week? Month? Year? That fateful day, Right time and place, When I was ready, To accept God’s embrace. Multiple invitations, Always too busy to go. You won’t change your mind? Nah, not today, I can’t, no… Why did You put it in my heart to go? Why do You love me so? I didn’t know, I didn’t know, You were what was missing. The other shoe never dropped, It’s been years and not stopped. The empty hole is gone, it’s filled. The old self has been killed. Behold, all things are made new. I’m not perfect and neither are you, But this joy comes from God, And I’m hooked like a cod. Undeserving, why me? So many others hurt, and What they need they can’t see. So many still build on sand. I too was a doubting Thomas. Merciful Lord, forgive me. But You reveal Your Spirit, You saw what I could be. I was set free, my bonds broken. No more heavy chains. No longer A slave to sin or to the father of lies, No need to fear, You’ve made me stronger. In my trails, He comforts me. He helps with burdens and pains, As I never knew was possible, Then only His love remains. You’ve not left us orphans, But the world does not know You. We have Your Word and You sent Your Spirit too. It’s not just a memory, It’s engraved in my soul. For evermore grateful, You’ve made me whole. Now how do I tell the lost That I once was lost too? That there’s One true Healer To give us life anew? Fake like you’re okay,
How’s it going? Good. A white lie you say, Automatic as breathing. How would they know? No one paid any mind. I searched everywhere, But I couldn’t find… The love that I needed, No one could give. You think you have it, Till you just can’t live. It was a lifelong hole I didn’t know I had, Till I was left alone. Unwanted, empty, sad. Discarded like toys Not played with anymore. Not planned or malicious, Just not like before. I was lost, that much I know, But I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know, I didn’t know, That all I needed was You. In my darkest hour, You didn’t let me down. You showed me what love is, Rose where it used to be brown. A distant God to a loving Father, I didn’t know You were so kind. Wouldn’t trade You for anything, For You I’d leave it all behind. Why did nobody tell me? Why didn’t I know? If they had, would I listen? Or out the ear would it go? How can I express What can only be felt? How do I address Your questions, concerns? He’s near the brokenhearted, I’d heard it before. Blessed are those who mourn, But how long must it pour? God is love, Jesus loves you. They were right, But who knew? Common words, words… How do you know? I’m glad you’re so sure, But how do you know? I didn’t know how, Till He did it to me. I get it now, now I know. I was blind, but now I see. How could I think He didn’t care? How could I think He wasn’t there? All along I sought wrong, I just didn’t belong. Lost in my sin, I didn’t know What was missing. A part-time believer, The serpent hissing… Head knowledge, book learning, It’s useful, good, and true. But mind to heart is different, You need love too. I still remember,
Brings tears to my eyes, Goosebumps and joy, And love I internalize. One moment of love, And You had me for life. There’s nothing like it, No man and no wife. No dig against marriage, They’re just number two. He’s my number one, And perhaps for you too. Just a taste of our afterlife, Don’t want to lose it. Show me the narrow road, I’ll try not to confuse it. |
