Only by You

Why do I do the very thing I shouldn’t?

And why don’t I do what I should do?

I cannot be the holy child I’m meant to be without you Holy Spirit

Not without you

And even though I have your words

to guide my life to lead me in perfection

My selfishness often wins the race.

I cannot be saved without you Jesus

I cannot be saved without you.

And when you say to love you with all of my heart

Often other things take your place

I’m sorry God because you deserve all my love

But I cannot love without you God

No I cannot love without you.

So make me new Lord

Just as you promised

Daily give me freedom

to walk away from Me

And all the lies that surround my mind

Let your truth transform me

For I can only be holy by you

And I can only be saved by you

I can only love with you by my side

This is my prayer

Transform my life

Do only what you can do, God

Do only what you can do,

Amen.

Only with you written by Laura Quinn 2/19/2025
