Am I able?

Am I able?

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What am I able to do?

On my own indeed

Jesus, without You

There can be no deed

Am I able to see?

Without Your Eyes

There will definitely be 

No vision in the skies

Blind with no goal 

Nor direction to follow

Emptiness in the soul

Pouring tears of sorrow

Am I able to hear?

Without Your Voice

Nothing will be clear

To make the right choice

Am I able to think?

Without Your Wisdom

My mind would wander

In aimless boredom

Am I able to live?

Without Your Life

My heart would grieve

Heavy with strife

Am I able to breathe?

Without Your Breath

My breath would cease 

And surely end in death

Am I able without You?

Most certainly not, Lord

For what can I do

On my own accord
