When we reflect on Your commandments Lord
There’s not one we didn’t break
But you knew when our days were numbered
Long ago in the Secret Place
The struggles we’d face, the choices we’d make
And where we would stumble into mistakes
But You gave us free will to discern for ourselves
You allowed us to choose our own way
And what we would do with the knowledge of You
Leaves us standing where we are today
As children in our younger days
Some were acquainted with You Jesus
But then we drifted away in Life’s next phase
Seeking only to please us
We spent time and money on worldly things
It took all of our attention
Never giving you a second thought
Your name we seldom mentioned
Yes, when Life was good and full of joy
Without You we were content
But when Life’s adversity crossed our path
Running back to You we went
We still grumble and complain
Yet You continue to feed us in the desert
Not realizing we are being refined
When we succumb under pressure
Let us remember…though Your voice may be silent
You never leave us or forsake us
To this day… You still guide us
Yes You O Lord… are still our pilot
So please forgive us for the times
We’ve broken your commands and Your heart
Teach us to turn from our wicked ways
So we will never be apart
Help us to surrender and repent
Claiming Your Mercy and Grace
Living up to the life You ordained for us
Long ago in the Secret Place
