A new day unfolds, and with it, temptation  
to shoulder a load as I often do  
but then I remember the role you’ve given  
not to carry the load, nor force things to happen  
my role is to be the temple of the Holy Spirit  
to be still, listening deeply—  
then show up, cooperate, with all You are doing.

The day and all that is in it, is firmly in your hand  
I readily submit, as You reveal my place  
to walk in step with you, simply by Your grace  
while You don’t need me to come through  
You delight in coming through me  
lead on—show me the way  
every step, Lord—for Your glory.
