YOUR BENEFACTOR

A poor beggar
Finding a benefactor
That's who I am

Nothing of my own
I am stripped
Of all that is "me"

Now I can see
Ever so clearly
The greater heights

The free flight
Unto eternity
Not knowing

How this can be
Without my effort
Just to soar

Earthbound no more
My desires pure
By grace alone

I come home
From my wanderings
I sing

My New Song
Of Spirit's wonder
I am there

In love's presence
Living from His essence
No performing

Just being
Myself in Christ
No reason to boast

I just flow
With immeasurable power
Without trying

I just am
Accepted in the Beloved
Not needing approval

Abiding in His shadow
Taking great delight
In single sight

Of the Lamb
I can see Him
Because I let loose

Of my goodness
I quit striving
To be anything

But His
Oh, so simple
The heart of a child

Quiet and mild
Listening to Father's voice
Inspiring my choice

To let obedience be
Welling up in me
While I beheld Him

In utter weakness
Willingly stripped
Of every possession

I come begging
Poor in spirit
I can hear it

"Come up here"
To your inheritance
Sing and dance

Let grace be
Your forever energy
No more self effort

Come enter your Sabbath
It's time to rest
In obedient faith

To just wait
For Spirit's wind
To receive the Kingdom

From poverty to riches
In an instant
You are with Me

No more beggarly
Flying free
By My might

You ascend
After your weakness
After your emptiness

Unto great heights
In the realm of abundance
Welcome to your inheritance

Clothed by the Spirit
No longer a beggar
You've found your Benefactor
