"I Remain"

-->

“I Remain”

You spoke this world to be... Placed me here with a plan and a purpose that’s so much more than I can see

And when the darkness dimmed my view... You called me... to keep holding on to you...

I want to want to be here...

To see the beauty in all there is to see and more

I long to wake...

knowing, there is so much more than the days before

I remain... here in a world that’s broken,

but still filled with joy

I remain... here in a time of loss,

but so much is gained

I remain... here facing all that has been,

and embracing what you made me to be

I remain...

I want to want to be here...

to reach out to the hope that comes with you here with me

I long to walk among the ones who remain with me...

& see more of you in their eyes as they look to see

I remain... here to celebrate with all creation...

the mighty works of your hands

I remain... here to live my life,

and see the goodness that you’ve placed here for me and I am changed

I remain... here to feel the feeling of living,

as I morn what’s lost and wait for the time to come...

I remain...

I choose to be here... to see your glory in this place

Lord here I am... lead my heart... show the way
