August 11 - This Experience Must Come

Lord, You sent me people
To guide and help me through.
But You never meant for them to
Stay and take the place of You.

You brought me to my Jordan
Where I faced my test alone
I chose to face it boldly
And not slink away and moan.

My Jericho has been a place
Where I witnessed great things done.
Now I alone must do them,
In front of everyone.

Time spent at my Bethel
Can cause me great confusion.
But guidance from my Savior
Helps me through the grand illusion.

The “Elijahs” that You’ve sent me
Taught me many things, it’s true.
But most of all I learned
To put my trust in only You.
