Lost In The Wilderness

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.   II Corinthians 12:9

the night grows darkest

before the approaching dawn,

the struggle becomes greatest

with journey’s end just out of sight;

look down with mercy O Lord,

pull me from these raging waters,

guide me through this wilderness,

hold on to me because I am not strong

enough to hold on to You;

reveal Your will for my life,

provide the power to glorify Your name,

fill me with the Holy Spirit,

let me be Your servant

forever;

through my weakness O Lord,

may Your strength be made perfect,

through my iniquities and transgressions,

may Your love shine like a beacon in the night;

let the world see that without You,

I am nothing but dust

Your mercy and grace are sufficient,

Your love and sacrifice all that is required,

You alone have the power to overcome,

You alone have defeated death;

to You does all glory belong,

to You shall all glory be given,

for You and You alone are Lord,

You and You alone are King.
