| LIft Me Up by Amy S Turner |
Why is it, Lord, that I so quickly
see the problem,
call to mind the hurt,
rehearse the pain,
dwell on my mistakes,
fret and stew in worry
and feed upon my fear?
Why is it, Lord, that I'm so slow
to see your grace,
treasure peaceful moments,
hold on to every healing,
listen for your whispered word,
lean upon your strength,
and place my troubled heart
in your open, loving hands?
Lift me up, O Lord,
out of all that keeps me down...
Open wide my eyes to see
the beauty of your face...
Lift my hands and heart
to you in prayer...
Open up my ears
to your Spirit's voice within me...
Touch my mind and heart
where I'm most in need of healing...
Remind me every day of my blessings,
old and new...
Give me strength to live
one day,
one hour,
one minute at a time...
Lift me up, O Lord,
out of all that keeps me down
and let my spirit find its joy
in you and in your love...
Amen.
