O Lord, I pray not to be proud 
and yet I am;
I pray not to see in judgment 
and still my eyes note every difference; 
I pray to trust You in all things, 
then mull over the tragedies in this world. 
I wish only to be still 
in Your presence, 
needing nothing from You, 
and find myself begging for a peaceful heart 
in times of trouble. 
When, my Lord, 
will I surrender all to You? 
How long must I wait?

O my soul, let it all go 
and have faith in the Word, your Lord!
