I need

Lord I need your strength today
pour your blessings upon my life
calm my heart, soothe my thought
take away this strife

you say come to me
let me carry your load
I'm giving it to you today, Lord
I'm tired of kicking against the goad

Why today when all had been still
did thoughts twirl around my mind
why can't I be calm and wait
and be patient to seek what you find

control my words today Lord
help them to be encouraging ones
help me not to explode
be with me today under the sun

Be still my heart
wait on the Lord
cling to his promises
trust in his word
