Remind Me that I Can

When I'm tempted to see the lesser part of me
When all I can view are my inadequacies
When both my past and my future condemns
Remind me that I can, remind me that I can

When distraction and darkness cloud my senses
When all I could look at is the world's wicked judgments
When the most logical thing is to give up my dreams
Tell me, tell me, tell me that I can

Give me the Eyes to See, and the Faith to Live
Oh, I dare to hope, and I dare to believe!
When all kinds of reason for hope being gone,
Then I will hope in Faith, and in Faith I will stand

Why do you weary yourself with the things that you do?
Cast your cares upon Me child, didn't I tell you?
Live under My Grace and understand this:
You can't, but I can, so now you can too!

Grace is where all your hard work ends,
It is where True Love and True Power begins,
For Faith is birthed when ability dies,
Very few know this. Is it that hard to realize?

I told you to trust Me with all your heart.
Just stand believing - that is all your part.
And if you have forgotten, then I'd tell you again:
My child, my precious one, Yes! You can!
