where i go

I'm afraid to trust You
Take me and teach me
Who are You beyond religion?
Beyond our institutions
And tidy answers?

I fear Your power, love and mystery
I don't understand Your ways
Take me to the wild wilderness
And let me see Your thunder

Take my identity
Give me a name only we know
Take my dreams and direction
Let me wonder aimless
If it means I go with You

I don't want religion's safety games
Keep the labels and recognition away
I have failed You in everything
And I'm too tired and scared
To ever wish to play again
Take me somewhere I can trust

May my broken heart be Yours
Though I haven't the strength to give it
Let me learn the quiet of Your love...
