You came to me when I needed you
My back was turned in dissident view
You patiently waited by my side
My Stubborn selfish shameful pride
Caught up in my own rat race
I didn’t recognize Your Grace
I turned my ears deaf on Thee
My heart was closed I wouldn’t see
With life a mess and out of control
I didn’t know where, or which way to go
And then you whispered tenderly
This time I heard Your call to me
With open heart, on bended knees
In prayer I asked you, Jesus please
Do your will take charge of me
Fill my heart and then fill me
To walk this narrow path with thee
Is all I need or want in me
Show me Lord the narrow strait
For in you Lord, I’ll not forsake

Hmmm
I'm not sure that "hath" is the right word in the last stanza for my liking. The rest flows well but I couldn't get my mind around that one word even though it's a great word when used but not here I feel. Love the rest and you of course.

I really really really like this one. You have captured the essence of what it is like to try and do things your way until at last you realize it can only be done His way.
