I NEED YOU

I failed to see your beauty

When everything’s fine
I failed to exult at your grace

When everything’s fine

I failed to perceive your love

When everything’s fine

I failed to rejoice at your mercy

When everything’s fine

I failed to remember even you

When everything’s fine

But then...

I bowed before you

When I’m weak and unwell

I bowed before you

When trouble comes my way

I bowed before you

When I can’t stand my ground

I bowed before you

When I’m torned and harmed

I bowed before you

When I have wants and wishes

And now I wonder…

Will I be pardoned of my failings?

Will I be excused of my misconception?

Will I be spared of my misapprehension?

Will my prayers be listened to?

Am I worthy to be your child?

What would I be if I am forgotten?

And I repent

For forgetting you at the best of times

But remembering you only at my worst.

For not being what I am supposed to

Rather being what I shouldn’t be.

At the end…

I am the one who needs your love

I am the one who needs your grace

I am the one who needs your mercy

I am the one who needs your guidance

I am the one who needs you most
