Wrong Paths

by Susan

I've taken the wrong paths so many times

I've been in some trouble and in some binds

Each time I try to do it alone

It always ends in moans and groans

I fall on my face in despair

I cry out "Lord, this just isn't fair!"

"Why me Lord?" as my rage burns

I scream and kick with no place to turn

Then to my knees, I cry out to Him

Please help me Lord, help me again

I know in my heart what you seek

My spirit is willing, my flesh is weak

I want to give my life to You

You say "Come to me, no payment is due"

but Lord, I have so many flaws

You say, :My grace is sufficient and covers them all".

You pick me up so carefully

You hold me tight and tenderly

and in Your arms I find my strength

I know with You I can do anything

Help me Father to keep my eyes on You

To make You my focus in whatever I do

I know You have so many plans for me

For You, I want to be all I can be.
