Father, show me what I don’t see I hear their plea, but I miss their need I have been blind… change me May my mind be open as I embrace the broken Help me not to plan, but be lead by Your sovereign hand As I aim to rescue… don’t let me drown for my own thoughts may pull me down May my goal be for their complete restoration rather than temporary imitation of my salvation Instead of reinventing their wheel… let me rest upon the truth You reveal May I not merely bring another tourniquet that stops the bleeding until volunteers quit I pray You give me strength to dig for the root rather than being satisfied with picking the problem fruit Father, show me what I don’t see

I wrote this poem while at Gateway. It is my prayer. The words were inspired by a song called "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath. Be Blessed!
