when fear challenges faith

The desire to please Him spurns me on
I want to do your will
Your plans for me are right, I know
Yet I don't see so vividly
I begin to trust what I see
But you call me to something beyond
You call me to faith.

Welling up in me like a spring
Bursting through my innards like growing roots
It seeks to draw me from you
To take your words from my mind and lips
To draw me into darkness and confusion
To rely on myself... no, no.... to rely on You.
The battle rages within
The challenge of fear.

But will your call prevail? I hope so
For your presence is my desire
a division of focus, I seek to discard
Because your call is real, your words are sure
So, when I come to that point again when:
fear challenges faith
May your call prevail.
