The Dust Of My Bones
Brokenness stole my dreams
And, in the darkness of a forest so thick and daunting
I lost all but the very shell of hope
The same way leaves like to hold tightly to winter oaks
But, somehow, Lord, You never forgot
And, somehow, Lord, You knew just what I needed
The smallest hint of light scattered the dark
Threw the stars into the moon and ignited my heart
And, now I know the shadows where nothing more than You
Extinguishing my own desires
And replacing them with Your loves burning fire
According to Your will
Teach me to submit myself wholly to You
According to Your will
Teach me to commit myself fully to You
And, only to You
I’ve been the sheep without a shepherd
But, You gently drew me in with the tenderness of Your Son
Gave me Faith I’d never known
Now, Lord, my whole life is Yours alone
From today until You raise the dust of my bones
To sing praise and thanksgiving to the Holiest One
According to Your will
Teach me to submit myself wholly to You
According to Your will
Teach me to commit myself fully to You
And, only to You
Now, Lord, I commit into Your hands the essence of me
My mind, my heart, and bones
My life, my love, my soul
And, everything You created me to be
Lord, let me be only
