Empty but Filled

Having seemingly nothing
yet everything to give
waking this weary heart
full of vibrancy to live
wanting to simply get through
no, but to be soberly alive
You always win in this chasm
between You and I

Wanting to do all
but nothing will I earn
Hoping to gain my reward
yet one I do not deserve
In pressing onward, forward
may in surrender myself I find
Your mercy is always enough
and within Your arms I will lie

Hungry I come
I am empty but filled
Longing for Your presence
but within You still
Fully unaware
yet amazingly aware too
I lift up these tired eyes
and look only to You.
