motherhood anthem

if there is one thing i've learned {and will keep learning} in my short five years of motherhood, it's my total and utter helplessness. 

as i spent a day dedicated to motherhood thinking about the gift and the struggle of this job, all i could come up with was my need for the Lord. every moment of every hour. nothing has ever been more sanctifying and life giving as to understand my total need for the Lord to mother my children. 

this song puts perfect words to my heart and is my "motherhood anthem." {but really a whole life anthem}

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
 

 Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You


Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Yes where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me


So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay

As I continue to lean into Him, I am delighted as He fills me with strength in the everyday with my children.
