Sometimes I feel as thought I'm running on empty Lord but I know that's not true,
because on the day I accepted salvation you filled me with you.

I have to remind myself I am no longer the person I used to be,
that I am now the new creature that you alone can see.

I sometimes forget that the new me is going on your strength not mine,
and that despite what I feel everything is just fine.

I am blinded by things going on in front of me,
if I forget to surrender my eyes to what you want them to see.

I can be discouraged by the things my ears listen to,
if I forget each day to surrender them  to you.

My reactions to things can be way out of line,
if the strength I try to go on is only mine.

Even though I'm blessed and I can see,
even though I know all of these precious truths you've revealed to me.

I can still feel like I'm running on empty today,
if I forget to surrender my all to you as I pray.
