Finished

It is finished
It is done, You once said
I echo those words in my heart
With a deep pain, but perhaps not quite so selfless a motive
I've given up, I'm letting go
Of what I could never have held to the end
I place it back in Your arms
Because only then can healing begin

If I could paint a picture of how beautiful things might have been
It could never equal even a glimmer
Of what you have in store
What you have planned

Lord help me trust You
To daily let go of everything that I cannot live without
Everything I hold most dear
Because the time may come where those things are all gone
And there IS only You
And it is only when I relinquish control to You
That I can turn my eyes forward instead of looking back
And allow You to fully work
Instead of these slippery mountains
Fumbling helplessly in my hands.
