"Here I am before you Lord
falling at Your feet
My longing is to know You more
Your purpose to complete
When I look around me
its so hard to understand
I want to see You move, Lord
I want to see Your hand
Trusting You, Lord
does not come easily to me
Trusting You, Lord
I need Your eyes, that I may see
When the way is dark and I'm afraid
and don't know what to do
Help me take my eyes off me, Lord
and keep my eyes on YOU.
I stand upon Your promise, Lord
You have a plan for me
And though I may not see it yet
I'll trust You faithfully
You have spoken to my heart
a message strong and true
So I'll gather up my courage, Lord
and humbly follow You.
Trusting You, Lord
does not come easily to me
Trusting You, Lord
I need Your eyes, that I may see
When the way is dark and I'm afraid
and don't know what to do
Help me take my eyes off me, Lord
and keep my eyes on YOU."

this song has been my theme song the last several weeks. I've sung it as I've worked, cranked it up loud as I've been driving hither and yon doing all sorts of errands, and pondered the words and the meaning and encouragement they are in my life right now. God has a way of giving me direction and leading through songs, although it is not always the kind of direction I want. This time, this song was His message to me to "trust". How hard it is to not know---to wait---to be content that HIS way will be best, in HIS perfect time, even when my human mind cannot comprehend. Even when I feel stressed and mentally distraught and completely out of control, I must choose to keep my eyes on the ONE Who knows the way so much better than I do.
