I Am a Yo Yo, God

You know, Lord, how I have wanted to have a steady spiritual life for years. But I seem to be up and down, like a yo-yo. It has been two steps forward, one step back -- sometimes even three steps back. I now understand I can not be in charge of my spiritual growth: it is Christ in me that causes constant forward momentum. You have whispered to me, many times, that I cannot live the Christian life in my own power. I think I'm finally getting it!


I Am a Yo-Yo, Lord

Lord I am a yo-yo
And you hold the string.
When I am low
You pull me up again.
Sometimes it seems
You don't pull hard
Cause I don't go up very far.
Then I hang
Suspended in time
While the string
Slowly unwinds.
One day I'll make it
To the top,
Keep pulling Lord
Please don't' stop!
Problems get in my way,
The string gets a little knot;
But with you in control Lord
The knot comes untied.
Keep on pulling Lord,
Help me to climb
This long and hard string of life.
For when I've made it
To the top
I know I've made it to You!
