Crying, wondering what the future might hold
My hope that my fears never be told
I know my God will tenderly keep
Every tear in His bottle I weep
I collapse, O for witness to bear!
Everything I cling to from my hands I tear
I surrender all of these anxieties at His mercy seat
No greater place for them than at His feet
Not my reasoning, not my will,
Not my emotions, but your Spirit reign in me LORD!
O Spirit, rise up within me
Give thanks to the LORD at all times
Take up your sword and swing free
Fight the good fight, finish the race
Come on, keep up with Jesus’ pace
All the while fix your eyes on His lovely face
He is the end, He is the goal
Though you’re soiled with sin like the soot of coal
His blood speaks a better word
There’s no condemnation here inferred
His mercy and grace wipe away the blemishes, the spots
O, to know His love deeper is greatest among ought’s
You think to yourself, “I’m such a mess”
But God just says, I’m just ironing out winkles from your dress
I won’t be satisfied till all is healed and completely restored by YOU
I know beyond a shadow that is what you want for me too
At all times I will bless the LORD
With gratitude in heart, with joy in song
In His presence, in His arms,
Under His wings is where I belong
Now I face this daily battle with assured victory in my song
In His love I am made whole, made strong.
