Glimpse
If this is what I can accomplish
with the strength and courage I lack
I wonder the things I could do,
if I didn’t let fear hold me back
What if I no longer fed my fears and doubts?
Fed my faith instead
How much further would I be ahead
What dances I’d dance
What songs I’d sing
What poems I’d write
If I freed the warrior within
I’ve seen what I could do
with fear stirring in my chest
I’ve seen victory
I’ve seen success
Still I don’t think I’ve done my very best
Fear hindered my walk, stole my happiness
It stopped me from going too far
For reaching for the farthest star
I go only as far as I feel safe to go
But what if I didn’t do that anymore?
What if I took a chance?
Thread the scary path
Did the dance
Laugh the laugh
I’ve seen a glimpse of what I could do
If the champion in me made her debut
Imagine the great things I’d accomplish
if my body, soul and mind I’d renew
Imagine the dreams that’ll come true
His Word:
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 NKJV
