Bare Feet

Next Steps 

the next steps I do not know

all I see are my little toes

the path is long

my eyes are weak

all I ask is that you would speak

show me your plan

or give me direction

point me towards you

I want to be your reflection

you came to leave the world

not to just change it,

making us the ones to now save it

give me your spirit

so I might not stumble

give me your wisdom

but keep me humble

These next steps matter, yes

but it’s the person, not the path you care most about

the one growing up, not just going out

I need courage and strength

to take the next length

no longer bare footed

but equipped with boots

that can go through darkest forests

but remember her roots

the home I leave now

I may never return

for I venture out to come home to you,

heaven is my destination

as I take my first steps

to go make disciples of all nations
