Why

Abba Father, why do I fear You?
Why am I scared of the things You will do?
Why do I tremble at the touch of Your hand?
I know You will heal me right where I stand.

Why do I dread the stir of Your voice?
Why do I not make the logical choice?
To follow You in all that I do.
To turn all my life over to You.

I know You are much better for me
Than the choices I make so carelessly.
Why don’t I listen, Why don’t I care?
Oh dear Jesus, please don’t judge me fair.

I don’t know why I won’t reach to the sky
And proclaim my love past the day that I die.
Without You there’s no reason to try,
No reason to raise my dreams up so high.

So the next time Your hand reaches to mine
I will hold it to me that moment in time
And shout to the earth what a wonder You are!
From your perfect will I will never be far.
