My pain and anguish are no more
I prayed for your help and it came
I arose from my cries and tears into your light
and day by day I gathered renewed strength
I was awed by your words and my lessons being learned
I gave myself to immersing the days with your Holy Spirit
I forged myself into your path and influences
weathering sneers and mocking from those around me
It mattered not who believed or ridiculed me
and it does not matter to me even now
all that matters is that I know my walk is real and true
you are guiding my steps as each day approaches anew
I realize now that your plan is grander than mine
for I really did not have one because I was living blind
I gave myself completely into your holy and great loving hands
and now my slate is clean and clear awaiting your divine direction
My old life is gone and completely wiped away
the new days are faithful with prayer and your loving grace
I shake and I tremble some for I do not what direction I will go
but I know you are in charge of my very life and soul
I say to you few friends that I have
He is going to do His will with me and that is what I asked
I had no idea how my life would be as of today
but as I look at it I really see that He is the potter and I am the clay
I am truly amazed at what He has done with me
and I know I must continue to be humble and walk a steady pace
He is steering me towards where I am needed by Him most
I will do as He directs me because I dearly love our Lord
