staying in the boat
If my life is surrendered to God, all is well.
Let me not grab it back,
as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!
–Elisabeth Elliot
You who makes all things new
When I was at the end
in the blackest place
You reached down
You placed me in your arc
I let go and would have died
But I was safe with You
Now I will stay here
I will live in your boat
I give to you all I have
A shattered heart
A shadow of a life
A weak voice
A broken spirit
A fragile existence
Myself
Not much to offer
But all I have
My life a love song
What can you do with this?
Anything you want
for the rest of my days
I will live the words
unlimited ruthless trust
I’m all yours
No matter what comes
It’s the least I can do
In return for
knowing
YOU
