I owe it all to Him

giftedgirl1The One who gave it all for me,
So I could have a hope;
Forgave my sins and set me free-
The Anchor on my rope.

The only One who keeps me sane
When I don’t know what to do;
He can always ease the pain,
He helps me see the truth.

I often fail and wonder how
He still loves me so;
Inside, He sees that I mean well;
He sees my heart, I know.

Sometimes it seems my weaknesses
Throw failure in my face.
But deep inside, my Rock, my Strength,
reassures me of His grace.

It hurts to admit, after all He’s done,
That I could do so much more.
Dear God, I ask You, open my eyes;
Help me see those doors.

A stranger, a friend –anyone–
I know they aren’t just people;
Someone must tell them of God;
If I don’t try, who’ll teach them?

It feels like I’m against myself;
I know what I should do.
But still my fears would hold me back,
I don’t have the strength, it’s true.

But I will never cease to pray,
He’ll pull me ever through.
He’s paid the price; I’m here to serve;
Jesus, I owe it all to You.
