Choose
the better part
choose to sit
at the Lord’s feet
in awe and wonder
at his love and grace
to find peace
and comfort
in submission
to his word
moving through you
transforming your heart
into his
THE BETTER PART

I have lived this life
before
felt this temptation
before
been in this garden
before
felt this fear and shame
before
guide me Lord
away from this serpent
into Your Way
Your Truth
Your Life
INTO YOUR LIFE

False idols
of self and selfishness
as plentiful as the stars
in the sky
draw my attention
with empty promises
that lead only
to unhappiness
and disappointment
ever reminding me
there is no God
but God
NO GOD BUT GOD

Lord save me
from my pride
fear and selfishness
that I may
worship you alone
with faith and confidence
in your love and truth
save me from the distractions
that draw me away
from your quiet voice
that I may seek
you alone
for all my days
YOU ALONE

I release you
into God’s hands
you are a burden
I can no longer carry
if I want to follow
the Lord
I forgive you
I release you
so that we may both
be free
RELEASE YOU
