God I need You
You’re my Healer
You’re my Peace
my Righteousness
I need You every minute
’cause my life is such a mess
my loved one’s having problems
and it’s causing me distress
sometimes I just feel helpless…
I want it all to go away
to see them whole and well and strong
but for now I guess we have this journey
so we’ll know where we each belong
with You…
with You
in every trouble
every struggle
every pain
every endless night of darkness
dusty wilderness, no rain
crying in frustration
why must it be this way?
so You
can show me that You’re here
and You hear me
that no matter what I face
You’ve faced it too
and that what Your plan is IN it
is me… with You
to remind me that I NEED You
You’re the only way to make it through
and while we’re walking I can listen
to what You say is true
“Let Me minister to YOU”, says He
and I protest, “but it’s not about me;
fix what’s broken and I’ll be free”
free of worry and wasting time
of fretting over every little thing
of being the one to cook and clean
to plan and carry all responsibility
“See?”, says He
“Oh”, says me
I love your loved one
more than you could ever know
and while I’m loving them
you and I will get to grow
there’s more to Me than meets your eye
when you’re consumed with other’s things
be still and know Me where you are
I’ll show you fresh the things unseen
I AM your Healer as you said
and your Peace and Righteousness
you have to KNOW this
know this straight from Me
so you will accept, so you will believe
so you will abide in the depth of peace
and trust that only comes from Me
to you, for you, so personally
I am your loved one’s Healer too
and their peace, unable to be understood
I am the only One who makes them right
you right
things right
when My time is right
yet for a time it may be night
just keep looking at Me because I am the Light
