Let Go and Let GodOrder, Simplify [Book of Mormon: Mosiah 4:27; 7:33]
Again the hard lesson is patience.
Instant gratification's indulgence
is not the teaching Tim needs.
Can I let Him plant this new seed?
Can I take this new step for My Lord,
and turn my heart again heavenward?
To progress toward being like him,
What is necessary for you, Tim?
The effort Christ recognizes and sees,
Turning to His will is hopes finale.
An addict's only chance is day by day
Submitting to the Savior's peaceful way.
As I lowered myself to my knee's today
to be like Enos, to get my answer.
It came to me I am commanding
the Lord to be "my way" considering.
This simple truth I must relearn.
That it's not my way to govern.
Decisions each day at work abound.
But they are mine. Can I turn around
And in some way include God in even
The instant decision's burden.
Can I learn to hear what he'll say
I am a child again, learning His way.
Plans must be simple and definite
As I struggle through my own hard fight.
In pride I tried a new business to tone.
I could not see my attempt as alone
I falsely believed that I was in control
Anger overwhelmed the confusing pull.
Sobriety was really lost before
when resentment exploded in a roar
I would not see the vain trigger, the nod
I would not let go and just let God
Deliver me from the bondage of hate
Until it was again, too far, too late.
What a thought "let go and let God"
Tim seems only humbled, beaten, the rod
Only brought to my knees by strife
That I may return to God's road to Life?
All thing done in "wisdom and order"
Means to Christ's will I can surrender
I can't run faster than I have strength
It's not how much but the orderly length.
Lost are my goals if with success I vie,
And I don't order and simplify,
To write out a plan and them meditate,
Listen to the spirit and God's caring rate.
Does the plan fit with his word, His scripture?
Can I help him accomplish this feature?
I must be diligent to win the prize
I fall to my knees, for I am unwise
Only if my Lord I serve and give homage,
Can He slowly guide me out of bondage.
