I'd rather

I’d rather have no power in this world

Then I’ll need to call upon Your name for help

 

I’d rather have no wealth in this world

Then I’ll need to call upon Your name for provision

 

I’d rather have no friends in this world

Then I’ll need to call upon Your name for comfort

 

I’d rather be forsaken by this world

Then I’ll know that You’ll never forsake this child

 

I’d rather be unloved by this world

Then I’ll know that You’ll forever love this child

 

I’d rather be despised by this world

Then I’ll know that You’ll never despise this child

 

Lord

I’d rather be homeless in this world

Then I’ll know You are my true home

Give me a heart

Let me focus my eyes on the heavenly home

Even though it is unseen
