How foolish I am to be so blind to my needs.
Too often I put my head above Yours,
and turn my face from You.

I seek refuge apart from You,
and I set my tent in fields far from You.
My mind wanders aimlessly amidst its futile ways;
my heart is stranded in desolate ground.

It is then that Your loving Hand
reaches down and opens my eyes.
Along many paths do I chase,
but on my own I cannot find my way.

How arrogant and foolish I am,
my pride consumes me.

Tired and weary, I surrender
and fall at your feet.
Tears may well and fall,
and sadness may weigh heavy.

But how blessed I am
to have my needs set clearly before me.
To know that You are my Source, my only Strength.
Nowhere else can my dependence be.
