Oh Lord,
It is so easy to take back the things
that we have surrendered to you.
Even though we once placed them into your hands,
we reach up and take them back,
thinking we can deal with them better on our own.

Why does this cycle continue?
I thought I would have learned my lesson by now,
but instead I repeat the mistake of taking things back from you,
only to fail miserably on my own.

God,
here I am again, wandering and lost,
on this path you led me down.
I can see a glimpse of the future you're leading me towards,
but have no idea how to take the steps to get there.

I surrendered myself to you,
but it seems like I have taken myself back,
even though I am nothing on my own.
The hope and peace I had in you has faded,
because of my own selfishness and stubbornness,
and all I'm left now is a glimpse of what you have shown me,
with nothing to lead me there.

Lord,
I know your voice is calling,
that you are showing me the way,
but I have not been listening,
or looking for your face.
Help me out of this trap I'm in,
for I don't want to be stuck here.
I can't get out of this on my own,
for it was because I tried to go it alone,
that I am back here once again.
