Questions

Am I willing to let go of the one that I should be

And to be the one I am, to authentically be me?

Am I willing to step out of this world of my control

To step into the brokenness that somehow makes me whole?

Am I willing to be hurt so that I can feel delight

And to hope for what's to come after darkness of the night?

Am I willing to be real, and to say "I love you" first

To open up to others at my best and at my worst?

Am I willing to be humbled in my journey to the truth

To live my life with wonder and simplicity of youth?

Am I willing just to be, to rest within this place

To know that I am perfect in your infinite embrace?

To move amongst the questions, and to love them as they are

To wait in silent stillness though the answers seem so far

I pray you make me willing so that one day I'm complete

By this love that you have given, the truth my heart will meet
