You Challenge Me
by Dan Blankenship

You, O’ Lord, challenge me
To be strong when I feel weak

You challenge me to trust
When all I feel is doubt

You challenge me to be silent
When angry words are about to arise

You challenge me to admit fault
When I feel above reproach

You challenge me to move
When idleness is my wardrobe

You challenge me to think of others
When selfishness entombs me

You challenge me to choose love
When hate seems so effortless

You challenge me to be wise
When ignorance is my friend

You challenge me to work
When rest is my chosen trade

You challenge me to be calm
When chaos rules the day

You challenge me to be holy
When Holiness feels so far away
