Before I can see

I tend to get caught up
In the decisions that need to be made each day
I get overwhelmed because there are choices all around me
I sometimes forget that I can’t always see the bigger picture

Teach me what you need to, before I can see
Teach me the lessons, you want to before you let me see the whole plan
Teach me to trust with my heart, and guide my heart to yours
Teach me to rely on the promises you have told me in your Holy word

Before I can see the world the way you do
Before you open my eyes, help me identify the lies this world tells us
Before I can see what’s next, teach me to live in the moment
Before I try to speculate what I think is next, teach me what it means to wait

Before I can see the situation in the world, teach me to see the brokenness in me
Remove from me the things that keep me from seeing your plan
Before I can love the way you do, clear my vision to call out my own sins
Before you can show me what you see, please teach me to trust your plan
