Trusting You With Each Step

 

Why do I still stand in Your grace
When I fall short each day
Of the person I’m called to be.
Much to my own dismay.
 
I bow my head in shame because
I’m not doing it right,
Yet, I’m still blessed to stand within
The wonder of Your Light.
 
I see the gifts others possess
And use each time they speak,
Yet I don’t possess gifts like that,
No matter how I seek.
 
I find myself wondering how
I’m ever going to serve
The Great Commandment You left us,
The grace I don’t deserve.
 
Yet, Lord, You called me to be Yours
I heard You loud and clear,
And each time that I fall You’re there
Telling me not to fear.
 
It is as if Your plans for me,
Though real, are beyond sight,
And what I need to do right now
Is trust that You are right.
 
I need to keep walking the path
That You’ve set before me
And trust that when the time is right
You’ll make them clear to see.
 
Maybe the gift I’m called to live
For right now is just faith.
To learn that when I’m weak, You’re strong
Is not a myth, a wraith.
 
Then walk forward as You command
And trust You as I go
To lead me to the next lesson
You’ve planned to help me grow.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Isaiah 54:10
For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
