LORD ~ I Want to be a Sonflower

I Want to be a Sonflower

Here I am once again, wondering what should I do
Close my eyes and hope for death? Or keep on pressing through?
Oh how I long to be like Him, my Master and my Friend
Strong, courageous and full of faith, right up 'till the end
My heart it aches to be renewed, with love from on high
But how it groans from all the pain, that makes it's home my life.

Oh Dear Yeshua, how I love you! You are all the joy I know!
Come Holy Master and Create, a masterpiece to show!
Take all the pain, disgrace and despair, that makes it's life my home
Replace it with your love complete, like no one has ever known!
I give you all I have to give, and still some more please take
Please come my precious Yeshua, take me now and make...

A flower bold and beautiful, that can't be overlooked
One that springs forth in surprise beside a trickling brook
Please make me a Sonflower, so there will be no doubt
That without the light of the Son, I could never have come about
A single flower that began as a weed, where it's seed happened to fall
Taking on the likeness of the Son, is it's only call
As it grows so tall and strong, reaching for the sky
Is when it springs forth in surprise, for all those passing by
A Sonflower that inspires praise, to God for all it's worth
For it's magnificent beauty and the seeds of life it births

Yes Lord, a Sonflower is what I want to be
Though at times, it's so hard, to grow up as a weed
I know that if I stay in your light
Drink only of the rain of the river of life
One day when my time has come
I too will resemble the Son
No more wishing this weed were dead
Just the picking of this flower for your centerpiece instead
