Context

by Joel Howard

I'm broken and needy

That's how you want me

Selfish, completely

That's how I come

Failing, despicable

There is your mercy

You want to know me

You want to know me

I'm restless, indeed

There you will find me

I don't have an idea

Of what you're doing!

My context - where I am

Is what I'm bringing

That's what you're wanting

That's what you're wanting

As I am

As I am

I come as I am

O Great I AM

As I am

That's how you want it

My context is 

Just perfect for 

Your mighty hand

Father of the orphan - orphan

Protector of the widow 

Helper to the helpless

Dire is the context

Strong is our weakness

Beauty for these ashes - ashes

You're fair among ten thousand 

Let's just say of all things

You're wanting

Brokenness is 

Just good enough!

If I'd be poor

If I'd on my knees implore

If strength be almost gone

That's what you want

That's what you want

If I'd just come

Make you number one

Declare my weakness

As my greatest asset

That's how you want it

That's how you want me to come

That is my context

And that's how you want it, O God!
