Today Lord I don’t feel like a Christian as anger wells in my heart
I feel overwhelmed by the trials that befall me and I feel ripped apart
I want to hide from the world and just catch my breath
But fear and worry pursue me, will it be this way until death
I Lie in the darkness alone with my pain
I cry out Your name Lord for mercy, I give You free reign
To sift and to mold me but please give me Your peace
From past choices that haunt me, please put my mind now at ease
For I need this reprieve
Help me to step out in faith and make a new start
To throw off the old man and put joy in my heart
Please give me eyes that see, what you see
And a mind that discerns, what Your will should be, played out by me
To shape a life that reflects all that you teach
That speaks to the lost and the lonely that seem out of reach
For it is not my life, but Your life, I was saved by your grace
And your love is the fuel that keeps me running this race
