Lord, i'm sometimes sunken under the waves and can barely grasp for air
You’re not slow or late
You're not distant
You’re not unaware of my longings or of how long i've prayed the same prayer and wondered if i should just stop.
Maybe you've answered in giving them up to their own ways
Maybe i've done all i can do and should walk away.
But I'm still here
troubled and angry
i don't know if i'm more angry at their unbelief or mine
Cause i know You are the God who saves, but You've yet to save them.
i'm still here begging You to glorify Your name
To let me see your hand make alive what's dead
You alone are the God of steadfast love and compassion
You are patient and kind to bring many sons to glory
You, O God, send Your Spirit at Your appointed time to magnify Your name among the nations!
It's not up to me to make right what is wrong,
it's not up to me to sing the perfect song,
cause Your name alone can save lost & dying souls
i can trust You to save all those You have chosen.
Help me to be faithful in telling everyone about this gift of life in Christ & help me live a life that reflects His light wherever i go. Help me to hope in You.
