LORD GIVE ME SPACE

by: Grace E Easley

I used to pray "Lord give me space",
How little did I know,
Who thought I had to be away
From Him, so I could grow
I wanted to try out m wings,
And struggling to be free,
I did my best to put a wall
Between the Lord and me.

I used to pray "Lord give me space",
I felt I was confined.
I wanted to be out among
Those care-free friends of mine.
At last He opened up His hand,
So that I could depart,
And set out to make my way,
With eager, happy heart.

But things were not as I supposed,
And there was much to bear,
And somehow when I needed them,
My friends were never there.
I was not brave and fearless,
Left high upon a limb,
It didn't take me very long,
To know I needed Him.

The sweet concern from which I fled,
Was tender love for me.
And when I thought I was confined,
Then had I been most free.
And so I turned and headed home,
And in His warm embrace,
I had no need to bow my head,
And ask for greater space.
