Please give me what You know I need.

Please give me what You know I need

Though I may not yet agree

>From my restricted vision

That it is best for me.

 

We tend to hold too tightly

To those things we think we need

And forget that You know better

Since our past lives you can read.

 

We also try to push away

Those things we label sad

Not seeing that they also hold

Some good beneath the bad

 

You tell us to be willing

To observe each one and see

That it's better to accept them both

With equanimity

 

For only if we do so

Can we ever really be

Completely happy and secure

In Your uncertainty.

 

So give me what You know I need

And help me to agree

That only You are able

To decide what's best for me.
