The God In Me

When I have been overcome with emotion and all but died inside.

Crying rivers, streams, and oceans, who will wipe the tears from my eyes?

When I’ve lost my way and I’m all alone who will comfort me?

Will I fall back and be destroyed… or find the God in me?!?



When I have waged war against myself, my own ideals and beliefs

When I feel beat down, walked on, or like giving up. Who provides relief?

When my path is dark, the road is narrow, and blue skies have turned to gray

Will He have mercy on His child and help me find my way?



When He has led me to the river Jordan, but I refuse to drink

As my life begins to fall apart, do I ever stop to think?

When He has locked the doors that lead to freedom, but handed me the key

Will I refuse to answer the call, or will I find the God in me?



When I have worked and worked to get where I am, and still have nothing to show

Should I continue to work when the more I gain the less I seem to grow?

Should I delight in the pleasures of man, in search of silver and gold?

For what good is it to gain these things, if I sacrifice my soul?



When I have cried out to the Lord for wisdom, peace and understanding

Will I accept the new direction, when my requests are granted?

Will I turn away from truth or will I find the God in me?
