Commencement

I hold on tight with all my might
My heart is in my hand
So hard to let go

I kick, fight, and scream to hold on to this piece of me
The inner parts, the secret places
I'm reluctant to let you to see

This fear that I have stems from deep inside
Insecurities and experiences mixed with pride
I've gone on this long, just getting by
At the end of failed relationships
I sit and cry

I ask God to help me
Show me my self
Get rid of the junk
Clean off the shelf

My first love will be You
No one will block my view
Seeking your face
I know there is a place
Where all that I've ever imagined
will be added unto me
My life a living testimony for this world to see

You want me healthy and happy
I can't be that way without You

So continue to work on me
I'm checking in for surgery

Show me my wrongs
Cleanse my soul
Give me a new life
I want to reach that goal

Our foundation must be You
Plant our feet on solid ground
On Your solid rock I'll stand
Because all other ground is
sinking sand

And from this firm foundation
Our lives will blossom
We'll be pleasant in Your site
Oh how awesome!

As I let down my guard to give my heart away
Even more of me will be given to You
This I do pray

You are the fount of my existence
The source of my life
The peace in my storm
The victory in strife

I love you Lord because you first loved me
I will make you proud
This you'll see
