There are those days, Holy God,
When it seems like
No matter how hard I reach for You,
I just can’t seem to get there.
…But that’s when I find
You reaching out to me,
Bridging the gap of my inadequacies.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for grace.
You keep me in Your arms,
Even those times when,
Like a restless toddler,
I am wriggling hard to get down and
Run away again.
It’s your constraining love
That keeps me safe from
My own wrong desires
For comfort elsewhere.

O Lord, help me truly
Find my rest in You and
Relinquish my desperation
When I know… I KNOW…
Only You give satisfaction!
