Who Are You?

This world is full of trouble, an ocean of torment

Yet you provide peace, an island of tranquility.

I'm laying down my troubles, I'm letting them go

I'm giving myself over, Father carry me now.

I cannot stand, I am stumbling over my feet.

I'm told to move mountains, yet I cannot even breathe.

Father I need you, I need your love,

I need your strength, I need your faith.

I want to soar above the clouds but I am stuck on the ground,

I reach up to touch the sky, except I find Your hands.

You draw me in and hold me close,

You have given me new life.

You have called me to be a light, to shine in the dark,

So I will blaze brighter than a star.

I will shine my light and point to you,

The giver of new life, the bringer of hope.

I hear the rain falling all around me, I feel it washing me clean

I can see my black turning white, a dazzling white.

While I have felt pain in the night, I have seen the sunrise

The rays painting the clouds, it's beautiful.

I have felt the wind brush my hair

And the sun kiss my cheeks,

When the pain of the night is gone

I know the joy of the morning has come.

You have never lead me astray so why would You now?

I will put my hope in You, the Father of Lights,

The giver of hope, my first true love,

My Father Above.

You are my beacon, my candle, my torch

You are the guide through this life.

And although I may not see my path,

It is you who will lead me to the sunrise.

I am no longer a child of darkness and fear

For I have been reborn to a Father of joy and light.

He loves me,

He cares for me,

He carries me when I cannot rise from the ground.

What more could I ask for? What more could I want?

Than to have the Creator with me.

I have been given a new name from the Father above.

I've been forgiven, redeemed, blessed, loved,

I am a child of God, a cherished one.

For though I walk in a valley of shadows

You are leading the way towards the morning.

I will not fear, I will have joy

And though there's pain I will rejoice.

Each step I take, you have placed.

Each step I take, is one closer to the light.

This I know, this I have hidden inside of me,

This I will keep locked tight within my heart.

You will never leave me, you are always there

Holding my hand and keeping me close.

What can I say? How can I describe what I have found in you?

There is nothing I can say, there are no words that can describe,

Even my thoughts have failed me now.

I have found peace in this world of suffering.

I have found light in the darkest of nights.

I have found love in a bitter earth.

I have found hope in the King, the Lord, the Father, the Savior.
