I pleaded with you on bended knee
My fears to dissolve.
You sat in silence
Hoping I would give You
what You yearned the most to own,
My self-will,
My hesitance to relinquish control.
In the end I gave it up
And found solace to my soul.
Yes, You said,
Now you understand.
I paved the way
In Gethsemane long ago.

I carried my problems in a basket
To every friend I knew;
They rummaged and picked the ones
They thought they could stop me
From feeling so blue.
I carried my basket to the Saviour,
He recognised each problem so well;
He gave me the wisdom to solve them,
My suffering myself to quell.
He knew every fallen tear,
Every minute of fear and dread,
He knew the lonely road I travelled
And gave me solace instead.

(Art: I Know You by B. Laura Wilson)
I viewed my life as
hopeless pieces
And shame consumed my
fragile heart.
I questioned every move
and every choice;
I berated, I gave no
value to any part.
Not until my trust
consumed me
And my will to heavens
flew
Did solace nestle in my
soul
And such freedom as I
never knew.
