Only Human
I release you to be human
For that's your Genesis formation
You are Gods creation
Never designed to be altered, twisted
or torn, by dark entities enmity and segregation
for that would be abomination.
I know you've been taught to wear a tight mask
Taught to be a robot at monotonous, redundant task
I release you to be human. I release you to be free
To require else would be inhumane
To go it alone is isolation, causing stress and strain.
You were never meant to walk alone
with no umbrella in the rain
So distracted by window pains of life's frames
No time to straighten crooked pictures on your wall
No one gets the real picture, so they never call
They think all is well
The long and short of it
You never tell
For fear, they may see
You are only human
Saved by God's grace
Yet you wear the same face
The title you carry
doesn't mirror your soul
No amount of entitlement
can make you whole
Becoming one with the Son
is the ultimate goal
Recognizing your humanity
in humility
snaps you into reality
that you are only human
Father, I lay my frail humanity
before your sovereignty
You alone can make me more
In my weakness I see and know
Your strength perfectly in my core.
You've given me permission
to be real, to admit what I really feel
to admit when I'm frail, shaken and afraid
You've given me permission to
Trust You to and thrust on You
All my care
It's too heavy to bear
My natural strength can’t carry the load
When I depend on you
I can travel this road . . .victoriously!
For I am only human, reformed by God
I am human, washed in His blood
I am only human, vulnerable and naked I stand
I am covered by His Mighty Hand
Directed by His perfect plan, for me
I am only human, filled with His Spirit
I am broken, but in His presence I shift
I’m whole
Hold me Lord, Comfort my soul
I lay all I am and all I am not
At your feet
I stand on your Word and know
my enemy is under my feet
When I trust in you
when I depend on You with my all
When I don’t hesitative to call on You when I fall
When I wait on you, I am strengthened,
I run, I am elevated
I am your child
I soar
Becoming like you even more
Becoming more than human
