Growing

I'm growing, I don't like it
I'm growing, and it hurts
I love You, but I'm tired
Guess I've got a lot to learn...

Don't leave me here
You said You would not forsake me
But You never said You wouldn't break me
to make me over in the image of You

In the dark night of the soul
when there's no comfort in prayin'
Not a moment's pleasure in strayin'
You're the only shelter I know

I'm growing, I don't like it
I'm growing, and it hurts
I love You, but I'm tired
Guess I've got a lot to learn...

No wind to sail
No rain to water the flower
In my most desperate hour
Lord, you will be the strength that I need

When feelings fail
When close enough isn't good enough
When full enough just isn't full enough
Your grace will be sufficient for me
