My Questions in the Light of You

I’ve got so many Questions
many things I can’t deduce
Everyone thinks they’ve got the answers
And it makes me think, “What’s the use?
Must I believe everything they say,
Accepting what they say is true?
What if they’re wrong?
What do You think I should do?”

Maybe someday I’ll get the answers
to the questions that fill my mind
May not be now, or even tomorrow
Or after ten more years are left behind

Maybe I’ll get to ask You these questions
on the Day We finally meet
Maybe by then, my quest for understanding
will finally be complete.

Or maybe…

Maybe…

Maybe by then I would be overtaken
By your Awesomeness and Beauty
the Questions may just fade away
into mere inconsequentiality
Compared to You, my questions are nothing
just a chasing after the wind
‘Cause all I’ll need to know, You’ll tell me
So I can be all You made me to be.

You know what?
I think I’ll just start gazing at You right now.

Teach me, Lord Jesus

Some people are reading
their Bibles each day.
They’re learning how God works
And what He would say.
They’re growing and feeding
On Heavenly Food.
Lord, teach me to study
That I may think like You would.

Some people are praying
And seeking His face.
They’re gaining direction
And strengthening in Grace.
He’s sharpening and pruning them
Enlightening their gaze.
Lord, teach me to pray
that I may follow your ways.

Some people are serving
The Lord with their all.
They’re giving their best
‘Cause they’ve answered His call.
They’re spreading the Gospel
And doing what He pleases.
Lord, teach me to serve
As you want me to, Jesus

May I be Your sacrifice, given to You, living to please You in all that I do.
That I may be Your gift to all; to Gentile and Jew, ’cause You’re all that matters, Jesus. It’s true.

Amen.



Amen.
