Let me go right to You
And leave the world behind
You hold all that’s true
Remove the ghosts of my mind.

Let me go right to You
And go with open arms
You’re the one to hear my plea
Repair my broken heart.

No matter the highest of mountains
No matter the deepest of seas
No distance can ever separate me from your love
You sit so close and then inside.

Let me go right to You
And let me fall in your hands
You hold me up like glue
You lift me up to stand.

Let me go right to You
And go with my wounded heart
You’re the one who aids to my needs
You never grow apart.

No matter the loneliest of mornings
No matter the darkest of nights
No circumstance can ever separate me from your love
You sit so close and then inside.

You tell me to go right to You
That there’s nothing here to fear
You’re the light, the way, the truth
You hold me close, you’re always near.

You should change that from now on... God's given you such skills. There's so much confidence in that!...
I wish I could change that. Pride is one thing I struggle with. I mostly don't feel any sense of accomplishment when I do something. Thank you so much for the words of support.

Oh I dunno... I've always considered it silly to be proud of how smart or strong or creative or whatever I am.

I didn't design me. I didn't choose which skills to give myself. Ain't no reason I should be proud that I can do what I was designed to do.

Like the Bible says, what do I have that I was not given?

The light of Jesus to me is ultimate truth, it comes from the ability to be good and keep a positive mind in bad circumstances.
