HOW MANY TIMES I'VE READ THIS LORD
AND FELT THE HELPLESSNESS OF THE WORDS
"WHAT?....HELPLESS?....WITH THE PROMISE?"
LORD?...HOW CLEARLY YOU SPEAK WHEN I COME IN THE STILLNESS OF MY OWN HEART...TRYING TO WORK OUT MY SALVATION WITH WISDOM...MY OWN I'M AFRAID...THAT ALWAYS LEAVES ME COMFORTLESS AND WITHOUT ANSWERS...AND THEN, THERE YOU ARE...QUESTIONING MY QUESTIONS....REASONING WITH ME...CALLING ME TO LISTEN TO YOUR WORD...YOUR WORD...YOUR WORD... LETTING ME GAZE UPON THE LIGHT OF YOUR MIND, YOUR REASONING, YOUR TRUTH...
"LOVE PROTECTS"...I AM HELPLESS TO PROTECT THOSE I LOVE FROM THEIR BAD DECISIONS, FROM THE PAIN AND RESULTS OF THEM...MY LOVE DOES NOT PROTECT...NOT EVEN MYSELF
"ALWAYS TRUSTS"...OH LORD HAVE MERCY...I DO NOT ALWAYS TRUST YOU...I WANT TO CONTROL...TO MANIPULATE...TO DEBATE...TO QUESTION...MY LOVE FAILS TO TRUST...
"ALWAYS HOPES"...LORD YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE...AND YET I LOOSE IT SO EASILY WHEN I DON'T GET THE ANSWERS TO MY PRAYERS...IN MY TIME AND WAY...LORD HAVE MERCY...
"ALWAYS PERSEVERES"...ONLY BECAUSE I FEAR YOU LORD...I CLING TO YOU, AFRAID TO LET GO...YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT GUIDES ME WHEN ALL SEEMS DARK...AND I FEEL SO ALONE...IT'S YOUR LIGHT THAT I RUN TO, KNOWING YOU'RE MY ONLY WAY OUT...MY ONLY ANSWER...YOU ARE THE FAITHFUL ONE WHO CHALLENGES ME TO PERSEVERE...
"LOVE NEVER FAILS"...MY LOVE FAILS IN NEARLY ALL I DO...
"WHO'S LOVE...NEVER FAILS?...WHO'S LOVE PROTECTS?...WHO'S LOVE IS FILLED WITH THE KNOWING OF ALPHA AND OMEGA?...WHO'S LOVE GIVES HOPE THAT PERSEVERES?
I AM LOVE...ALL EMBRACING, ABIDING, AND SANCTIFYING LOVE...MY PERFECT LOVE IN YOU CASTS OUT FEAR...
YOU FEAR NOT LOVING ENOUGH...I AM LOVE IN YOU TO DO MY WILL...THAT POWER YOU CAN RELEASE WITHOUT WORDS...JUST BE...
YOU DO NOT TRUST BECAUSE OF FEAR...YOUR UNBELIEF DENIES MY LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS...IT DENIES MY WORD OF PROMISE...
IT STIFLES, RESTRAINS AND HOLDS YOU BACK IN PERSEVERANCE...
YOU HEAR ME...YOU HEAR ME CLEARLY NOW...
I LOVE YOU...I AM LOVE TO YOU...I WILL NOT FAIL YOU IN YOUR LOVE, YOUR TRUST, YOUR PERSEVERANCE...........
"COME...LET US LOVE"
