But not just any faith.
LORD. Give me a Faith Like This:
Lord. When I am praying, and know not what to say. Keep me praying anyway. Even without the words.
Lord. When I am singing, and cannot remember the tune. Keep me singing anyway. Even without the music.
Lord. When I am listening, not caring to understand. Keep me hearing anyway. Even without agreeing.
Lord. When I am stumbling, afraid of falling down. Keep me moving anyway. Even when I must crawl.
Lord. When I am walking, by sight and not by faith. Keep me believing anyway. Even without a reason.
Lord. When I am looking, with eyes unwilling to see. Keep me focused anyway. Even when I am blind.
Lord. When I am holding, that which can never be possessed . Keep me willing anyway. Even when letting go.
Lord. When I am building, that which cannot be finished. Keep me interested anyway. Even without reward.
Lord. When I am dreaming, that which is only imagined. Keep me plodding anyway. Even beyond my zeal.
Lord. When I am speaking, truths I have not earned. Heal my spirit anyway. Even when I am humbled.
Lord. When I am living, entangled in, enraged by, this world’s unfairness. Keep me loving anyway.
Hopeful, anyway. Joyful, anyway.
Even when I am surprised.
Even when I am the cause.
LORD. For your highest glory.
For our greatest good, take all.
All of my anyways.
Let them provide for me a way.
To give my life.
Away.
LORD. GIVE ME A FAITH.
LIKE THAT.
