| It’s a mystery How much of You? How much of me? When I reach the borders Of my giftedness It is there that you move And take control Selah When I strive in earnest And fail It is there that you pick me up When I think I can go no further It is there that you carry me on Selah I know in a way that I can not express It is you, just you, that makes me go I know in a way that I can not show That the blessing is all you and none of me Yet if I did not try and fail If I did not strive for holiness If I did not attempt to persevere over the flesh My life would be barren and fruitless And you would not be all in all in my life Selah You show me that all that is of Adam Is doomed to fail And only by trying with all my mind With all my soul With all my strength Do I discover that nothing in my flesh Is good Nothing in my flesh will succeed And I arrive at a place Where you completely drive the spirit And motivate the soul And enlighten the mind And I experience grace And peace And joy That only the Spirit can give It is when I reach the borders of my giftedness And you take over That I find my destiny Amen |
