Lord, I don’t know what I’m doing
Or where my life is going,
But I know that without your leading,
It’ll just be endless roaming.
I’ve looked at my past and present,
And my future doesn’t look bright
Unless I accept Your leadership
And give in to your calling tonight.
I’m asking for help ‘cause I need it:
I need you most desperately;
I can’t live this life without it:
I need help immeasurably.
I’m tired, exhausted, of being alone
And giving in to loneliness;
I’ve realized that that’s You, calling me
It’s you wanting my brokenness.
Because when I have no one,
I have You;
There’s no one I need more,
But I forget the truth.
Please keep reminding me
Of how much I need Your love;
It’s not that You won’t give it,
But that I don’t think it’s enough.
I don’t want to keep searching,
I’ve done this all before:
I know that it ends in sorrow;
Your light is what I look for.
So please take me, it’s hopeless:
Without you I am done;
I’m giving up on myself
And accepting that You’ve won.
I know You’ll take me,
Of the little I do know…
It’s a comfort I find
A Friend who will never go.
You fill the longing deep inside
That I cannot comprehend
You’re the road before me
In a sea of stone dead-ends.
So don't let me forget it,
How I am completely Yours;
I cannot have grounds for despair
When I am on Your shores.
