Do vs Be…a poem

Do vs. Be

There is a war in me

I’d like to think there ‘s  more to this Than what I choose to see

Do vs. Be

When will I ever see That life is more than what I do.. It’s Whose I choose to be

Do Vs. Be

LORD, teach my eyes to see

That only through

Abiding in You

Can I hope to be…

More than what I bargained for

Your Love makes me who I am

And through You I can be more Than this dust can understand

So I give You LORD my well worn list

My do’s and don’ts in exchange for Your “Be”

And in Your Hands I will discover more

Than these simple eyes could ever see

Forgive me LORD when I hem You in

With my plans of what I’ll do

And thank You LORD that You don’t let me find rest Until I again abide in You

For You are my “Be”, You are my rest

My only worth is found in You

And may this foolish self never again believe

That my worth is in my “do”
