Tired, hungry, small, and frail.
You place your own strength inside.
You teach my heart how to beat again.
You give back more than I surrender.

Into your will, my days find flight.
Into your word, my hopes find root.
You bring forth what I cannot see.
You finish what your love began.

The signs may blur and fade.
But your word stands at my back,
A steady push of grace and truth,
A whisper that holds my steps.

I will listen even when it is faint.
I will obey even when it is hard.
Your voice is enough for the journey.
Your whisper is the light I need.
Your Word is the path I walk.
