The Answer

I don’t have it all figured out
This is what causes me to doubt
I have a fear of the unknown
And I know that’s where I’m goin’
So pardon if I occasionally
Forget Your grace and stability
I fill my mind with lame excuses
And remind myself of past abuses
That’s why I find it hard to trust
In a God who’s always loving and just
I do have faith that pulls me through
And keeps me seeking after You
But at times I think it’s not enough
I’m too distracted by so much other stuff
That I don’t live as You intended
The clear lines of Your Word get blended
With my own wants and selfish desires
And the promises of subtle liars
I get confused – that’s not Your way
Uncertainty causes me to stray
Until eventually I find myself
Flat on my face calling out for help
You raise me up and wipe me clean
When I repent of how I’ve been
You pull me close and fill me up
With forgiveness, mercy and love
You understand my weak failings
And my continuous questioning
How ignorance often leaves me blind
So again You generously remind
To all these questions I pursue
The answer has always been You
