tangled in my whirling thoughts
not knowing what to do
fearing failure, time flying by
each day an older you
sweet child of mine, i've done my best
to train you all i know
to love and live in righteousness
so to Him you'll always go
you trip, i gasp, i fear i've failed
panic grips my heart
reminded again, not mine but His
a priceless work of art
tangled in my whirling thoughts
the devil smells my fears
dropped to my knees i ask and pray
my prayers i know He hears
back in the game i guide again
i'll coach you every day
still in my care He's trusted me
to guide you to His way
you see, you learn, it finally clicks
your heart continues to grow
each challenge that He gives us
is so that we can know
when tangled in our whirling thoughts
we must kneel down and pray
we both will grow and be shaped more
like His son each day
