(Jesus) You Are
You are a light in the darkness and hope in despair
You are a friend when it seems no one else cares
You lift me up when I am down, you are strong when I am weak
When I am scared and alone it is you that I seek
It is you that I run to or sometimes just crawl
When it's too much to bear and I can't carry it all
You take it away or give me grace and strength to endure
Nothing will happen today that you and I can't handle together I am assured
I trust you Lord, but I often doubt
Sometimes I wish you wouldn't whisper, you'd shout
My faith, like young legs, are eager but unsteady
You tell me to take a leap of faith and fly, but I'm not sure I'm ready
You are the wind beneath my wings
You lift me up so I can soar
In you I experience what true joy and peace brings
I live like the mountains grounded yet reaching
Like the mighty trees who drop roots to drink deep of life giving springs
Help me thirst mightily for your teachings and the water of life
You are my healer when I'm injured, a sword to help me fight
You go before me as a shield you're angels guard me through the night
Sometimes I can't understand the wisdom of your plan
I am small and I am only one and I don't know that I can
The future is uncertain and I don't know what's in store
But Jesus be my shepherd and I'll want for nothing more
AMEN
