Deepening My Faith

Measuring my life
the walk of my faith
a plumb line vertical
while I stray right or left
questioning and fearing
unsure, in my doubts
hearing your words
that need to come out

Coming closer to your throne
submitting partially
to what I have been told
answering yes
to your call
but fearing mostly
I have not given my all

Deepening my faith
each passing day
striving to grow nearer
closer to your plan
giving more of me over
all that I am
