Nowhere Without You

Just this today,

Just these thoughts from this Tuesday,

Thoughts inspired by Scripture read,

Thoughts about how I want to live.

Nowhere Without You 
Exodus 33:12-18

My Strength,
My Hope,
All that
I know.

My LIfe,
My Song,
To You I
Belong.

And I have done
Absolutely nothing
Worthy of You.

And I am
Absolutely not
Deserving of You.

But You set me apart,
Your hands mold and shape my heart.

If I could find
Some favor in Your sight,
Unworthy as I am,
I would humbly ask
That You would lead,
That You'd walk with me.

My Lord,
My God,
The One I
Count on.

Each breath,
Each step,
Every
Moment.

I don't deserve
Even just a glance,
But You see me anyway.

I haven't earned
Anything at all,
But You offer grace.

And You're alive in me,
Worth more than the air I breathe.

If I could find
Some favor in Your sight,
Unworthy as I am,
I would humbly ask
That You would not make me leave
Unless You'll go with me.

Lord, I want to follow through,
But I can't make it without You,
So, in all I say and do,
Let me move and breathe in You.

I'll go nowhere without You.
I'll go nowhere without You.
I'll go nowhere without You.
I'll go nowhere without You.
