I give it all to You
I give them all to You
Lord
my vision has clouded
my senses are blurred
Help restore Your clarity
oh my God and Savior
Peace
Your Peace is flowing like a river
Help me, Lord
to grab the tube sitting there
waiting
propped up against a tree
Help me run with freedom
carefree joy of a child
protected feet that need shielding from sharp rocks
May I run with abandon, tube slung over my shoulder
hand firmly grasping
May my focus not be on the tube
but toward You
Your RIVER
Call to me, sweet coolness
Beckon me, spring of adventure
Cry out my name when I have forgotten your whereabouts and my human senses overtake my natural sight and feel of You
As I pass the last four feet of grass to flap across the packed sand on shore
allow me this boundless joyful shriek of anticipated glee
I now toss my tube onto Your clear surface
I fling my body backwards with a hope and no backward glance.
The thick rubber catches my weight with a lighthearted bounce and a sturdy flex
letting me know I am safe
My submerged feet feel the tug of slight undertow
I remember from past floats that "slight" can and does grow in strength
and I am not afraid
because I know Your strength grows even stronger within me
the longer the journey glides on
I am here
I am Yours
I am in GOOD hands
it is time to let go of all I left at the top of the hill when I let my feet tumble forward
into fun and adventure
I am Yours
I am in Your current and You are my guide
I lay my head back and expand my lungs with Your cool air
then slowly exhale the care as my chest settles into Your care
Thank You, Lord
Call me on
Draw me forth
Hold my hand
And we flow forward
TOGETHER
