My Lord

So many thoughts inside my head.
Some I adore, some I dread.
What will I do with them, who knows?
I will follow wherever God calls me to go.

It's so hard, pleasing myself, pleasing him.
My life is so consumed with sin.
But I know God accepts me with affection.
I can count on him to lead me in the right direction.

Sometimes I'll be tempted and swagger off course,
And it fills my Lord's heart with sadness and remorse.
But if I pray and give him my hand,
I look behind me and see those footprints in the sand.

When I'm sad and alone, my heart opens its door,
And God is always more than I could ever ask for.
No criticism or yelling escape from his lips.
He doesn't ever tell me that I need to get a grip.

I thank him for all he's done for me.
I don't understand why I am worthy.
I feel so lucky, I'm truly blessed.
The Lord deserves all of my thankfulness.

I know I will love him all of my days.
God has helped me in so many ways.
Although there are earthly things I cannot afford,
I'm just passing through, I want to be with my Lord.
