Lately, I've been receiving news about those I love. The news oftentimes is tough for me to handle, like the death of Jacob. There have been other things, too, that have been bittersweet. I walk around looking as if I might cry any moment. I don't know how to pray. My prayers go in about a million directions. Then, finally, I give up and do what I need to do...I lift my hands in worship looking not at the problem, but at the unique "gift" that the Lord has put before me and I sing:I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I'll stand my soul Lord to You abandoned
All I am is Yours
Words by Michael W. Smith from the song The Stand
From the Album Stand
