ADD TO MY FAVORITES
Searching through what life has to offer
Over indulging on all those empty promises
Until I was broken and downtrodden
Lost in a hopeless maze of confusion
Seeking in my despair for satisfaction
Only hoping to find the source of peace
Under a façade of happiness I hid
Linking nothing to contentment
Stumbling across a log, I stopped
Oh, what a sweet scent of honey in the air
Under the branch of an old rugged tree
Listening to the silence, I paused
Softly, God’s voice spoke to my heart
Offering me fulfillment and mercy
Upon my knees I fell in wonder
Love was written on my heart, how can that be
Seeking the source, I looked
Overhead, past the clouds to the heavens
Under the shade of the sweet oak tree
Love for me from God Himself was given
Sweet as honey to the soul and healing to the bones
Offered the Lord of my life
Unsure, I asked a simple question
Love me? I am detestable
Sweet child of mine, said He
Obstacles are meant to be removed
Under the wings of my grace
Let me take your burdens away
Savior, Redeemer, Protector, and Lord
Obedience to You is my new desire
Understanding and wisdom from you I seek
Looking ahead I wonder what I’ll become
Savoring the words of my God
Omnipotent and omniscient is He
Upholding me in weakness
Loving and serving Him has become my soul’s peace
Proverbs 16:24, NIV
