Thoughts
SHOW ME HOW…
How do I enjoy and delight in You?
How do I adore you, O Lord?
How do I honor, and worship You
With my thoughts and my deeds and my words?
You alone are worthy of all my praise.
Your will not mine must be done.
How do I live high above my circumstances
As a handmaiden in Your kingdom?
How do I lay aside all that gets in the way
Of living the life You intend?
How do I change the way that I think about things?
How do I become Your best friend?
Life without You is full of anger and pain,
A senseless chasing of temporary things.
How do I open my eyes, my ears, my heart to Your truth?
Where’s the joy that knowing You brings?
What’s real? What’s counterfeit? How do I know?
You lived a love so radical and true.
How do I live in that same amazing way?
How do I get to be just like You?
How do I live in Your Kingdom, and not in the world?
How do I live like I believe what You say?
How do I obey and glorify You?
How do I receive Your abundance day by day?
How do I accept You as Father and Lover and Friend,
My Rock, my Castle, my Shield?
You promise a relationship like no other.
How do I make it all real?
How do I surrender every part of myself?
Am I willing to pay that price?
How do I stop the selfishness and greed?
How do I choose discipline and sacrifice?
The timetable is Yours, the work is Yours,
even the battle You have declared won.
How do I rest at Your feet and bask in Your peace?
You in me, me in You. Are we One?
The journey’s begun, the questions are asked.
I will proceed at the pace You allow.
You are all that I need, You are all that I want,
And You will show me how.
