Ocean Waves
Slowly the things I seem to find my identity in are being stripped away.
Lord, I know you will show me, from you I will not stray.
So many thoughts swirling in my head.
My own future and present shouldn’t be something I dread.
Knowing that you know all, and that you will reveal it in time.
Living this life without sounds, feeling like a mime.
Do I let it all go, do I travel down a different road.
Lord show me, which way do I carry my load?
So many burdens that are on my heart.
Trying to think about them, I barely know where to start.
So instead of hashing them out I give them to you.
For I know you are the one who will see me through.
From this moment on, my life is completely in your hands.
I know you are the rock on which I should stand.
On my own, I can only walk where the sands are below
And that way is confused, unstable, and uncertain I know.
Lord teach me to be like an ocean wave.
Going the direction you planned, the one you yourself have made.
Never fighting the course set out for them.
And once they reach it, to you their “bodies” bend.
Help me to be like this wave
Getting on my knees once I reach the path on which I’ve stayed.
Even if the course is bumpy and rough like during a storm
Please Lord, help this to become my norm.
For like a wave I want to be,
Strong, constant, humble, and going where You want me to be.
Help me to be this wave of your light
I am now and forevermore your servant, for life.
