Nothing to Prove

This was a tough lesson to learn 

I love a good challenge by nature 

My ego takes pride in everything I’ve earned 

Fantasizing on words I’ll use in the future!

---

I struck Gold when I found You

But I found that you’re worth more than Gold.

I tried to explain my decision to follow you,

I tried to prove I hadn’t lost it, and 

That I still know what I’m doing. 

---

I wanted to be reasonable 

So others can see and accept you too.

I didn’t want to be religious or seem pushy. 

When none of my efforts worked, 

I unconsciously decided to prove a point. 

---

That my life will show it pays to serve Jesus

I did all the right things wrongly 

Until my wisdom turned folly 

And my decisions clearly unreasonable

You flipped the switch on me.

---

I lost what I cherished the most 

For all my efforts I had nothing to proof.

Ready to give up &  just hanging by a thread 

Your mercy found me, right where you wanted me to be. 

At the end of myself.

---

I have nothing to loose 

Now I have nothing to prove 

Just basking in fellowship 

Laying down my life as an offering!

---

In a world that’s demanding of evidence 

And a generation that’s Eager to show workings.

A people ever demanding signs & wonders 

I have nothing to prove 

I am not pressured to do 

I have nothing to loose 

Jesus Christ is Enough!
