so here's the secret,
here's the truth,
I can't do it,
I don't have it in me
to love as you love,
I don't have the strength,
or the faith to move mountains,
the depth of my wisdom
is a drop in the ocean,
at its' height my compassion
hovers at ground level,
my gifts and talents
are rusty, dusty trinkets
against the storehouse of your treasures...
+
BUT you didn't ask me
to walk alone,
you haven't called me to an empty place,
you haven't set me on my feet
and given me nothing,
you pour out you riches
into my heart, and hands,
you fill my mind
with your wisdom,
and take my faith,
small and weak though it is
and make it beautiful,
in you the impossible is made possible
and I am set free...
+
Come Holy One,
lover of my soul,
author and perfecter of my faith,
come, help me to take this yoke you have
chosen for me,
help me to walk in your ways,
to communicate your truths,
to love as you love,
help me
for I cannot do it
without you.
