Only You, Lord Poem by Ms Thang

I come before you outta breath and outta energy
I want so much to do right but I don’t know if it’s in me
I want to be a good mother and wife
But I wonder if I’ll struggle for the rest of my life
Anxiety overcomes me, fear overwhelms me
And lord I’m just askin’ you to help me
Help me be the woman you made me to be
Give me the patience, desire, and ability.
Lord, I see how much they all need me
lord in order to make it really need thee.
I need your strength, power and love
The kind that comes only from above.
Lord please restore me, redeem me, give me the strength
When I’m runnin’ on empty and I’ve got nothing left
Show me, guide me take my hand lord
Because without you it’s just too hard
I can only turn to you – only you understand
What happens when you depend on fallible man
Disappointment and pain are what is received
Only you will ever truly be there for me.
So I look to you to give me everything I need
Because I know that you’ll always be there for me
Standing beside me, holding my hand, showing me the way
Giving me direction, patience, and the right thing to say.
Lord I trust you with everything and give it all to you
Because in my own strength – I know it’s all I can do.
