Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9
Lead
With tender cries
Beckon
With longing eyes
Cajole
With sincere flattery
Remind
How much this matters to me
Reach
With arms of love
Whisper
From within and far above
Hear
What I don’t know how to say
Respond
With words that will show me the way
Grasp
The hand I’m holding out
Bear
With me when I cry and shout
Understand
As only Your Spirit can
Bring
Me into the shelter of Your hand
Know
What I need, even when I do not
Prove
The difference between need and want
Steady
Me when the ground shakes
Grow
Me to reach others for Your sake
Enable
Gifts I did not know
Nurture
And then let me grow
Ensure
I only seek your Son
Receive
My soul when work is done
Grasp
Until that day comes
Saturate
Me in Your Love

Dear Shelly
What a beautiful song! Yes, we learn how to reach out to our Pappa when we suffer. But He tells us that He refines us through suffering.
