Only You Lord
by
Barbara Philbrook
Only You Lord
know the future as well as the past,
if my strength and conviction would really last.
If I would be
able to face what lies ahead,
or whether I would be broken by it instead.
Only You know
what is for the best,
if I would succeed or if I'd fail some test.
Would I remain
firm and strong,
or would I crack when too much came along?
Is my conviction
what the future will take,
or would some devastating change my spirit break?
Would the things
I see draw me closer to You,
or is there some dreadful damage it would do?
Only You Lord
have the answer to all of these,
so consider each when I come in prayer please.
Consider each
and do what would be best,
each and every time I approach You with a request.
