The Question

Are you my Father? Do you love me?
Do you hold my life so tenderly in your hands?
They say you think of me a thousand times and more
each day, more than the grains of sand...

Are you my Comforter? Do you give strength?
Do you weep beside me when I fall?
Do you see my agony
Do you see my every need,
Do you rush to embrace me when I call?

Am I asking silly questions, Father
Should I really be asking if you're Lord?
For what good does it do
to run around serving you
If I don't ask myself, "Are you Lord?"
Are you Lord of my life?

So are you Lord of my life,
Do you hold my future plans
Are you Lord of my heart,
Do you hold my thoughts and dreams,
are you Lord of every friendship I hold dear to me?
are you Lord, would I run from all else to follow you?

Are you Lord of my life,
and the Lord of my desires,
Does my soul thirst for you
like a weary, hungry man,
are you Lord, are you God of everything?

You ran into the garden
at the cool of the day
calling out to their hearts
as they hid from you
you ran with arms open wide
as your wilful son came back
and you wept
and you wept

Are you Lord of my life? Have I given all to you,
given all, all my moods and my tears
when the world seems to spin
without meaning, without joy
are you Lord, are you Lord, of my life?
