Just to Grow in Life

Once a sinner

now I’m saved;

Still

I lack in many ways.

Lord

it feels like nothing has changed.

Patient

yet I cannot wait;

Loving

yet not void of hate;

Lord

I don’t want to stay the same.

Thought I had to come up with my own solutions

But You’re showing me the way to take.

I don’t have to know my complications;

I just need to grow in the Lord

Enjoying Him day by day

Pursuing Him with the saints

Absorbing Him just as a branch would in the vine.

There’s no need for me to struggle and to strive;

Just to grow in life.

Eating Your word when I wake

Nothing should get in the way;

Calling ceaselessly on Your name.

Meeting You with all the saints

Feasting on Your boundless grace

Praising as I call it a day.

I’ve let go of all religious regulations;

Found a new

enjoying way to take.
