I or He

Composed by: Br. Pio Benedict ​

It is not I who is in control of me;
It is not you who guides my way;
It is not they that allow me to see;
It is only He who rules the day.
 
Fearful and lonely can I be;
Nothing to believe is all I say,
Sad and hateful because yet to see
The power of God is the way.
 
Forever doubting, that it could be
Not knowing how loved we are today.
Never knowing, is that the key?
Seldom feeling that it is okay.
 
Let your fears and worries flee;
Let it be known that He said you may
Look at the cross and to the Holy See
And know that God's church is the way.
 
Established by God to exist and be,
To guide and love us and to keep at bay
The dark and lonely feelings as if out to sea.
Alone no more, all glory to this day.
 
Here forever, the door and the key
To guide us and to love us every day;
Let it enter so the world can see
The glory of God saving the way.
 
Darkness be gone, let it flee:
Doubt dismissed for us today.
The Lord our God came to free;
He is here today to show us the way.
 
It is not I in control, but He;
It is not you but He who guides the way;
It is not they but He who allows me to see
It is only He who rules the day.
