Hidden beneath a veil of confidence,

Is the struggle which is found within,

At best, a mere illusion,

That tears me down again and again!

Outside, I appear to be confident,

When really - I’m dying deep inside,

Desperately trying to keep up appearances

With doubts & fears I try to hide!

But Lord you see much further,

Than the mask that fools them all

You see the disbelief that tortures me,

And the tears that refuse to fall!

I’m determined to follow through,

To do all that you ask of me,

And even though I’m scared to death;

I’m determined to surrender to Thee!

And now with all of that said,

What way would you have me go?

Reveal the paths of righteousness,

and your will so I would know...

Where He Leads Me I will Follow,

Where He sends me I will go,

And when Satan tries to trip me,

I choose to practice my faith, and grow!!!
