Just As the Deer
Just as the Deer longs
for the watering hole,
so my soul longs to
give God control.
Give God control of my every
word thought and action,
my every achievement
and infraction.
I want to give Him
my hopes dreams
and my expectations,
my inner thoughts
and my conversations.
I want to surrender my
eyes ears and my mouth too,
my hands and feet and
every single thing they do.
I want God to be the
center of my being,
controlling every single thing
I look at and what I’m seeing.
I want God to control my
hopes dreams and desires,
and every single achievement
to which I aspire.
I want Him to provide each
and every single word I say,
the time the place
and even the way.
I want God not I
to establish my path,
and to control my emotions
from love to righteous wrath.
I want to be surrendered
from head to toe,
God being in control
of where and when I go.
Just as the deer longs
for water to drink,
my soul longs for God to
guide me as to what to think.
