My emotionally needy child has taught me
Just how much I need
How my emotions are so big
They can take over all of me.
I forget I’m not the only one
Who may feel this way
That emotions can get the best of me
They can sway me every day.
It reminds me of how much I need
To sit at the Lord’s feet
He has clearly stated
That He has all we need.
Lord, make me and mold me
Hold my emotions in your hand.
Because I know you can help me
And I know that I can’t.
Nothing will make me whole
Nothing will make me straight
There is only one answer
And its your unending grace.
So the way I handle my child’s emotions
Is much like how you handle me
I place them before your feet
And you provide every need.
