Big Light Touch

O God, I am so overwhelmed by You,
and yet You come to me with a light touch,
if what they say of You is one-tenth true,
You still can dominate me way too much.

How much You overwhelm Your little one,
You do control me so much more than I,
Yet I’m in charge when all is said and done,
Your power in me I wish to magnify.

You gave me physical limits, these are plain,
Your moral laws I find hard to control,
my freedom makes me often fight in vain
between the light and darkness in my soul.

Though You alone can wrestle down my will,
don't overwhelm me so my merit's nil.
