Parable

Jesus spoke in parables to help the people understand/stories that taught a moral truth/
the gospel is not that complicated to comprehend. God is in control/may I convey the lessons that he taught/
there are many things that the disciples could not grasp/Jesus spoke to them in parables to help them understand/
the meaning behind the mysteries. Within the Bible, there are many things/that seem impossible to apprehend/
I try so hard to imagine/myself inserted into the story. You have already made me/a part of the story/
a part of the big picture/by picking me as your child/I long to bring the gospel to this dying world/
I long to share the message with the urgency/that you spoke with/may every word I speak/
bring the glory back to you/

And I am asking to help me speak/in such a way people understand/
every word I speak please make it drip with your love. Every word I pray may it linger with your hope/
I know I can’t do it on my own/the love so deep/oh Lord I pray for your heart/
as I look to the Word to find my worth/my fulfillment in you alone/I cannot say this enough/I need you/
I see you working in my life/this life I live is not my own/the place on this earth is not my home/
my citizenship is heaven/that is where I am going when this life is over/my eyes are set upon your love/
my heart is set upon your promises to me/my mind is set on what is true/my feet are planted within your word/
my hands wield the sword with precision.

I look at your hands/and I see how much you care/I call out to you are you there/
your wounds have brought me healing from all this pain I feel.
This world is falling away like the snow melts in the spring/but I pray that you would melt my heart again/
mold my life and I ask that you refine me/I give you every part of me/because you gave your all for me.
May I look at you and remember/the price you paid to purchase my life from sin.
