I ask for peace
and You hold my hand.
I ask for mercy
and next to me You stand.
I ask for truth
and I drink from Your cup.
I ask for love
and You show up.
You say You are faithful
though I do not believe
for I ask for all these things
but You say You're all I need.
But when I picture peace
is it not Your hand in mine?
And when mercy is my desire
is it not a craving for Your time?
When truth is in question
do I not yearn for Your Word?
And when Love become the answer
is that not found in You, Lord?
You tell me You are faithful
as I begin to see
that all these things I long for
are all that You would be.
