in the meantime

All the chisels I've dulled carving idols of stone
That have crumbled like sand beneath the waves
I've recklessly built all my dreams in the sand
Just to watch them wash away
Through another day, another trial, another chance to reconcile
To One who sees past all I see
Reaching out my weary hand, I pray that You'd understand
You're the one One Who's faithful to me

All the pennies I've wasted in my wishing well
I have thrown like stones to the sea
I have cast my lots, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly
For a faith to be faithful to me
Through another day, another trial, another chance to reconcile
To One Who sees past all I see
Reaching out my weary hand, I pray that You'd understand
You're the only One Who's faithful to me --Jennifer Knapp "Faithful to Me"

Lord forgive me for being a foolish woman. Forgive me for putting worthless things on your Holy throne of my heart. Change my ways, Lord. Free me from the mud and the mire that has me stuck in my selfishness. Teach me how to be obedient to your will and faithful to your cause.
