To a Young One About to Believe
Oh For Life in that place
of perfect Peace
of Sanity and Rest
I find it only at your Feet
in abandoned willingness
I won’t settle for anything less.
When my mind is Lord
Chaos creeps in to clue me in
No more Life and Peace
But rather insanity of sin.
Knowing perfectly isn’t the goal
but rather dying to control
and rights and comfort
in vulnerability
like you died for me.
I know your promises are true
And I won’t settle for less
I won’t settle for less than YOU.
So show me how to take up my cross today
Lead me in Your Way.
I no longer want or need control
All I want and need is YOU.
No substitutes, only a real life that’s true
Only a living breathing walk with YOU.
