What I Learned in School Today
by Heather Jackson (Age: 30)
copyright 04-23-2004


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Empty I come to You
Needing You to fill again
My dry-drained cup
Desperate beyond words
For Your grace to flow
And once more fill me up

And though I’ve forgotten
In all of my busy days
To give You Your place
My heart thirsts after You
And seeks again the promise
Of Your cleansing grace

So with starvation’s panic
And no idea of the problem
I turn to You with a shout
Determined to replace You
In Your rightful position
And to turn this upset out

I set to turning my mind
Back to my Savior’s gift
Seeking solace in song
Hoping only for now
To turn depression’s tide
I can’t survive this long

And there, again as always
I find more than I sought
Discovering joy for sorrow
And in my weakest state
You grant me all I needed
To rise again tomorrow

Oh, that I had simply come
Turned sooner, not later
And fallen into Your arms
I might have been trading
These sorrows and hurts
For Your ten thousand charms
