This Promise

Folder: 
To God

I've spent so long with weightless worries

Over things and people I can't control

And I've been looking for the answers

In things that don't have feelings

When will I put my trust in you and leave this all behind?

Leave my troubles at your feet

I'm putting my trust in you, cause

Nothing in life will change until I do

So tonight I make this promise...

To let you have my life and let you lead my way

Cause I'm tired of being lost in regret

A prisoner in myself



Give me strength to see this through

Give me strength to start over and forget my past

I pray that I learn from my mistakes

And heal from my pain

That I've felt for so many years, it's been so long

Tonight I know nothing in my life will change until I do

So tonight I make this promise...

To let you have my life and let you lead my way

Cause I'm tired of being lost in regret

A prisoner in myself



I believe my life will change

If you are my light

If you take my hand and be my guide

I pray you lead me to a path of love and forgiveness

To those I've hurt and those who do to me



Show me your love

Show me your face

Lend me your hand

I need you grace

AMEN

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about finding comfort in 'something' bigger than yourself. It's also about letting go of the things that you let control your life, and make it negitive. ("The grass is greener on the otherside.") Look past yourself, to find faith in 'something.'
