Confidence

I have a newfound confidence. 
It’s one I must be careful to control. 
But I know it’s not pride,
For it would swallow me whole. 

I’m secure in who I am.
I’m secure because I am Your lamb. 

I’ve been given an unspeakable joy,
And I think I might like it.
I’ve let myself be molded by You
In every way You’ve seen fit. 

I’ve been given restoration. 
I am restored because You are my Salvation. 

The pleasures of this world,
To be sure, I will not chase. 
The desires of my heart,
Redeemed by Your unfailing grace. 

I will never turn back,
For there is nothing that I lack. 

Once lost, but now found,
You took my shame.
You carried the cross,
I can never be the same. 

Take me to that secret place,
Where I might seek Your face

You raised me up.
Now I walk with my head held high. 
I’m confident in who I am,
For I am Yours, and You are mine.
