Poetry

---

With my eyes wide open and my head on straight

I found it impossible to design my own fate.

I felt in control, I knew what to do

But nothing would happen until I found You.

I had to decide to not go it alone

Found it most difficult to lay all at Your throne

Ever so hard to stop fighting for me

Tears shone in my eyes as I trusted in Thee.

A struggle ensued and I almost won out

I am thankful I lost and that’s without doubt

For my victory would mean that I was in charge

And if I had won, my loss would be large

For nothing I could do, nothing in my power

Would be able to save me in my darkest hour.

I could find a great job and a wonderful mate

I could win the state lottery, which all would think great

I could make grand speeches to gain the praise of the crowd

I could stand and bow to their applause made loud.

With me at the wheel life’s rolling indeed

But nothing as grand as when Your word I do heed

And I finally decide to let You handle my need.
