Truly, will I ever know You, Lord?
My heart and soul ache to know You;
yet, my flesh keeps me from You.
How do I cross over, Lord?
What do I have to give up;
my actual existence?
As long as I am flesh
I am tormented by human failings.
I feel the separation,
but through Jesus,
the barriers have fallen away.
What is this to say?
Jesus is Lord of my life.
To do less than He asks of me
is for me to fall short of who I am to be.
Though each day, I do fall short,
and yet, each day, I find forgiveness
through all Jesus has done for me.
The door is always open for me to enter
through His grace, I am forgiven.
There will always be trials and challenges
in life; it is my choices that will make the difference.
The choices can either result in joy or sorrow;
if I choose to follow Jesus, I will ultimately
have joy.
