Heart In Hand
I give my heart to God
as I close my eyes and offer it
tears fall on my face
and my hands shaking
i raised up my arms
heart in hand and prayed for healing
I still sin Oh Lord
I still feel weak
I still fail You who does not fail me
Your wisdom I neglected
Your teachings I forgot
but still You call me son
and send the Holy Spirit
to cleanse me and fill me
You make me feel worthy
even though I have mistaken
You sing songs to calm me
like a child crying because of darkness
the fear in my heart erased
the trouble in my mind put to rest
You gladly give peace
to this tired and aching body
yes I still fail You
You who does not fail me
You make me feel worthy
by giving me Your love
with Your love in my heart
I find sustenance
Your forgiveness is a well
filled with unending water
quenching me to give me strength
my guilt is like paper to You
crumpling it and throwing it away
as you give me a new page
to write my life
You end my hunger
by letting me feel Your presence
ending my sadness
and making me feel whole again
I pray for always
