Your steadfast love so pure, so true,
There is no other love that could ever compare to you.
When my soul is weary and entangled with fear,
I press into your presence until I feel you near.
When the worries of my heart won’t seem to dissipate,
You continuously take on the burdens for my sake.
When I want to believe the lies that say I’m not worth it,
Your voice gently whispers, “My beautiful girl you’re perfect.”
Often I choose doubt when all you’ve been is faithful,
Inside is like a war fighting to believe your voice that screams, “I am able.”
Though my heart knows you’re faithful and good,
I don’t always trust you like I know I should.
But still your love fervently pursues after me,
You continuously teach me to have faith beyond what only I see.
Jesus…
Thank you for showing me the perfect picture of love,
For there is none greater than the one that rains down from above.
You’re unlike the mold I’ve always known,
Help me to wait patiently for the love you’ve always shown.
Thank you for taking my life and giving it on purpose,
From ashes you brought beauty underneath the surface.
My soul is desperate to know you more,
Step by step my faith rises as you call me out beyond the shore.
Thank you for standing firm when I begin to wander,
You break me down to build me up stronger.
Your love always seems to break my fall,
To you I owe it all.
Thank you for the plans that have failed,
For in the end it was your glory that prevailed.
I hold on loosely to my way,
And seek to be more obedient to the things you say.
I let go of my need to understand,
For your way is greater than I could ever comprehend.
My prayer is that you will continue to strip away the old and replace it with the new,
My greatest desire overall is to reflect more of you.
