A Little More, Each Day

Lord

it seems

That I fail and fail again.

I see Your face

But then the veils return again.

Emotion’s stirred

but there’s no change in me.

I’m living in my soul; I have to learn

A little more

each day

O Lord

to turn.

Lord

I know

That I’ve truly seen You

but

The vision fades;

I look away to other things.

Remind me

Lord

reveal Yourself to me

That from my idols I would be set free.

A little more

each day

I want to see.

Lord

my mind

Is occupied with many things—

This thorny age

With all of its anxieties.

My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.

I need to learn to tell it all to You!

A little more

each day

my mind renew.

Lord

my will

Is resistant to Your touch.

Disarm me

Lord;

Don’t let me win against Your grace.

I turn my eyes and see Your patient love—

What can I do but stop and come to You?

A little more

each day

my will subdue.

Lord

I pray

Make me desperate for You.

Keep drawing me

And training me to hear Your voice.

Lord

even though my progress is so slow

You’re by my side; You will not let me go.

A little more

each day

I’d love You so.

A little more

each day

and I will grow.
