The thoughts of a newly married, recently graduated, christ-seeking, pastor-to-be

I Dare to Want

I want to believe when I doubt
That You are really there
I want to know what cannot be proven
That You have always been

So I cry out to you my God
Reveal Your glory to me
Challenge me beyond my means
And carry me when I fall

I want to walk on water
Calm the storms, raise the dead
I want to go out again in faith
I want to be a fisher of men

So I cry out to you my God
Call me out of the boat
Ask me to take faith in You
And lead me despite my fear

I want to live my life for You
To proclaim you before kings
To live without fear of dying
Even if it costs me my life

So I cry out to you my God
Call me out of Ur
Empower me with the Spirit
And pave my way with grace
