2009 and the State of My Heart

Sometimes I trust money more than you
I’m so ashamed to say it’s true.
I forget that You can provide
And I hide.

I hide from your arms of love
I hide from those I know
I’m so afraid to show
What I’m really made of.

Dirt and water
Oh father
You made this body out of nothing,
Then why do I value worthless idols?

Why don’t I trust you?
Because You’ve always come through.
I have countless stories
Of how you have sent the stranger
To help me not to worry
Just like you sent the manger.

Oh Father, may I worship You
Like I want to.
You have been so very good
And one thing I know
I don’t deserve it.

My faith is very weak.
I have yet to develop the confidence I seek
So I’m chasing forward towards the kingdom.
I’m running towards freedom.
Capture my heart again
Show me what holds real value.
