I sit here, my perspective contends
As I try so hard to make amends
In obedience to you, in me I ponder
Must I subdue my strengths to make one stronger?
In my life stories I’ve fought many battles
As my spirit awakens, these conflicts rattle
I ask God to show me His patience and truth
Do these thoughts spring up from youth?
I can imagine I’m asking God for a lot
Changing and conflicts can bring great distraught
But I want to do much more for His glory
The greatest impacts,they come from old stories
So I come with the greatest of anticipation
The making of a disciple to all the nations
I am taught in the Bible to uproot my talents
Yet this man gloats of valor and valance
Waiting for direction to glorify the Father
My flesh would continuously try to barter
While I wonder if this is all a test
Made by fire to refine me at my best
How could I not wait to see where God leads
While my past lingers and my scars bleed
They are imperfect and my history confirms
They don’t only bleed, but they still burn
I am now left me in bad circumstance
I see places not to go back to, so I glance
I ask God in all this to console my heart
To heal and deliver not so good parts
Mold and shape my future at His muse
For I am His child promised, never to lose
