First in You

"Why do I let them in and
Close the door to You?
Why do I laugh with them, cry with them
When You're the one who's true?

"When they make me mad, upset
I get alone and cry.
Gently, You wipe my tears away with
'I have always been close by.' (Heb. 13:5)

"I shove You aside, not ready
To let You in to stay.
I have so many things to do and
You'll just get in my way.

"When will I realize
That all I seek in others
I will find first in You?

"Because You want me
And I need to be wanted.
You seek me
Because I need to be sought.
You take my sorrows
And make them Your own.
You remind me of His promise -
'The Father left you not alone.' (John 8:29)

I'll find first in You
The confidence I lack.
I'll find first in You
The one whose got my back.
I'll find first in You
The God of Abraham
I'll find first in You
The person that I am.
